I generally like the films that Third Window releases so I had a lot of hope for PUNK SAMURAI, an irreverant contribution to Japanese samurai cinema. Sadly, they're dashed early on as this turns out to be surprisingly generic and aimless, a grossly overlong production that has plenty of weirdness but very little to actually say for itself at heart. The story begins with mild promise, but gradually descends into routine plotting between unappealing characters, the least interesting of whom is the lead. There isn't even any good action to recommend it. The monkey stuff made me feel like I was watching a weird PLANET OF THE APES spin-off, but even that outstays its welcome before long.

Then you'll love this! It was one of the oddest stuff I've seen this year and I truly loved it!

Everywhere you look it's something odd going on. Don't take it too seriously though, just sit back and relax while observing the crazy wonder that is the characters living their lives.

Kinda wish there were more movies like this out in the world and I can't understand those who watched it while expecting something normal. Don't they watch trailers?

Anyhow, watch it! You won't regret it. It will get be you a lot to talk about if nothing else. There is some awesome scenes living in my memory rent free! ;)
