Monkey Punch's Alice

About This Movie

So, Monkey Punch's Alice is quite the trip. You have this gritty take on the cyberpunk genre, with a blend of action and bizarre surrealism that really sets it apart. The pacing varies, sometimes slow to build tension, other times bursting with chaotic energy. Jirocho's descent into obsession over Alice, the cyborg femme fatale, is fascinating—there’s a distinct interplay of danger and desire that permeates throughout. The practical effects have that raw edge, which enhances the whole experience, giving it a real tactile quality. The animation style has that unique flair we expect from Monkey Punch, and it really pushes the boundaries of what you’d expect from an early '90s flick. It’s certainly not your typical action-adventure.
