Disjointed Babylon
I recently found out that the move was supposed to be 20 minutes longer and it might have improved it in my eyes if they had kept the original length. This was a pet project for the French filmaker Mathieu Kassovitz. I hope when they bring it to DVD they have a director's cut so I can see how the director envisioned this story.
Going in, I was worried that 90 minutes wouldn't be long enough for this movie and it wasn't. It was an interesting premise. I enjoy a good postnuculear movie. Vin Diesel is a Mercenery exhiled from American. He is hired to escort a young lady who grew up in a convent to America. Sheltered her entire life, Aurora has trouble ajusting to the outside world. Strange things also happen with the girl. She starts having paranormal experiences of preminision. The film work during the action segments were a little to disjointed for me. The way the action segments were filmed reminded me of the Bourne movies, but not as good. If you like a good action movie, wait for this one to go to DVD. It's worth a view but not theatre prices. I'm on the fence on whether I'd own it or not. Bad movies tend to grow on me, so who knows.

is vin diesel any good in this? i dunno if i really like the guy too much
He's not what I call a great actor, but I enjoy watching him. He's not who I consider Handsome, but there's just something about him. He's the only saving grace in this movie to me.
