The amount of thought and painstaking care which has gone into every visual aspect is evident throughout in the strikingly coherent vision. The screenplay, on the other hand, feels laboured and inert.

Bird and Matthew Robbins’ screenplay is a thing of pristine beauty, retooling the pop and crackle of classic-era noir patter but with a sassy modern edge.

Stunning, snappy, and mannered like its nonexistent live-action counterpart from the 1950s, Ray Gunn really delivers. Bird does it all. Maybe too much! But after more than 30 years of false starts he's finally gotten his shot. He doesn't flinch.
