Despite all of its vintage flavor, ‘Ray Gunn’ somehow doesn’t feel stodgy or old fashioned.

Imaginative action meets confounding plotting and shallow metaphors... resulting in clunky drama overtaking the eye-popping details.

8/10

Director Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn is a love letter to film noir and old-school science fiction, beautifully bringing its retro-futuristic world to life with great style and attention to detail. As a detective narrative, though, it runs a bit too long.
