lots of fun

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2002)

Wild, wacky, over-the-top futuristic action movie/sci-fi saga from director Luc Besson. In the very distant future, world-weary N.Y.C. cab driver and ex-commando Willis crosses paths with a perfect supreme being (Jovovich) whose existence could be the key to saving humanity from the ultimate evil. Aided by her, a wise but bumbling priest, and a cocky, self-centered DJ, it's a race against time to try and save the world. So much humor that the film is borderline silly at times, but it's bolstered by a fascinating story, first-rate action scenes, and superlative futuristic images. A little bit of everything rolled into one make this a film you can enjoy time and time again. ***
