Babylon AD: Vin does thug Clive

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It's the near future. Chaos rains and our protagonist, Vin, is hanging out in Russia because he's a mercenary that can no longer get into the USA where he is from.

Vin is approached by a former mercenary buddy (Depardieu), now a big syndicate wheel, with a job that will give him an opportunity to get back home with a perfectly pirated UN passport. Vin must escort a beautiful young woman from a Tibetan convent to NYC without fail.

Enter the young french actress (pretty nice)and Michelle Yeogh. They begin their arduous fisticuffing and gun fighting across Russia, the Bering Straight, and finally to Manhattan.

This is a French film with all the French action touches which do different from ours. The action always over rules the plot and this one excels at that by incorporating close up killing and a nice cage fight.

The short of it is: The girl has been engineered (cloned) by her father and raised by her "mother" who is the high priestess of a new religion. Our French hottie has some special talents that will be put on display to attract millions of new followers to Rampling's new order.

I give this a solid 4.5 outta 10. Just too Frenchified with a befuddling ending (that so often occurs in Franco-film).
