Guy Moshe delivers very impressive visuals. The film is elegant. The origami gives the film an original, stylized look which makes the movie worth watching.
It's too bad Moshe didn't take enough care with the story as he did the effects. The film could've broken through like SIN CITY if it had characters worth following. Unfortunately, they're as thin as the paper mache set designs.
Story's about a drifter coming into town looking to kill the evil gangster. There's also a samurai in town looking to reclaim a gold medallion.
That's about as deep as the plot gets. Moshe has to realize action without character is boring. Great characters make the action thrilling.
Moshe may be a good director but from now on, he's got to leave the screenwriting to others.
