Film Review – Dust Bunny

Bryan Fuller has enjoyed a lengthy career in television. He’s helped to steer shows like “Heroes,” “Pushing Daisies,” “American Gods,” and “Hannibal,” and now he’s ready for the big screen, concocting “Dust Bunny” which plays like a mix of comic books and Luc Besson’s 1994 picture, “Leon: The Professional,” examining the relationship between a young girl and an aging assassin who lives next door to her. Of course, there’s also the possibility of a monster involved in the situation, taking the story into areas of fantasy horror, and Fuller enjoys the exaggeration, submitting a fully stylized endeavor that lives for odd imagery. “Dust Bunny” remains intriguing in spurts, nicely supported by a game cast, but Fuller doesn’t provide the most commanding story around for this directorial exercise, losing some appeal as the writing circles around, searching for emotional connections and relationship tension that never quite materializes.
