Nepotism = "incompetism"

209.51.192.9

I guess Besson is France's answer to Spielberg, since his films have the biggest budgets, but I don't think Steven can waste actors like John Malkovich, Faye Dunaway, and Dustin Hoffman as badly as Besson does in "The Messenger" (Jean Reno escaped by not being in this mess). It reminds me of Coppola casting his daughter, Sophia, as the lead in "Godfather III".

I did enjoy "La Femme Nikita", though. Was confused and mystified by "The Big Blue", but the girlfriend liked it (she just wanted to look at Jean Marc Barr). It started to be a problem, 'cause she and her girlfriends would keep renting it, then laughed when I showed up. Well, at least I've still got a full head of hair (check out the balding Barr in "Breaking The Waves").
