Weird, gripping, enjoyable.

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2002)

I'll start by making it clear that I am not recommending this film as an oscar-deserving classic, but instead as an enjoyable two hours-or-so of cinema. Bruce Willis delivers a performance akin to so many of those he is typecast in. Meaning that he runs around shouting a lot in a vest and sweats. Milla Jovovich is interesting and captivating as Leeloo and one of the film's best scene's occurs when she engages in a well coreographed fight scene to the weird background music of Sarah Brightman's alien diva.

The film's best creation however, is Chris Tucker's DJ Ruby Rhod, a fast-talking DJ-cum-TV host of the future who speaks in the films unique futuristic coloquialisms whilst young girls scream around him. Bruce Willis gets to play off of this character a lot in the film, and if you are thinking that a fast-talking DJ-cum-TV host played by Chris Tucker sounds as good a reason as any for NOT watching a movie, I can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. The films dialogue is top-notch, I seriously recommend that you see this film at least once. DJ Ruby Rhod: Quiver ladies, quiver!

So tomorrow from 5 to 7 will you PLEASE act like you have more than a two word vocabulary! It must be green! Korben Dallas: Can I talk to you for a second? [Throws Ruby up against a wall] Korben Dallas: I didn't come here to play poom-bow on the radio. So tomorrow from 5 to 7 your gonna give yourself a hand, green? DJ Ruby Rhod: Supergreen.

So tell me my man, are you nervous in the service? Korben Dallas: Mmm... not really.
