Delivers everything it sets out to.

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2003)

Those already familiar with Luc Besson productions will know that they have a tendency for a light story accompanied by beautiful visuals. Whilst some of his directorial outings have broken this rule, his productions rarely stray from rule number one; make the experience fun for the viewer. This movie certainly keeps with the fun. Unashamedly breaking the laws of physics and reality in favour of visual flair (as has always been the Besson way) this movie delivers everything it promises; it is fun, and the story is (whilst not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination) more than adequate as a vehicle for the action.
Strong cast, good story (with no pretensions of being anything it isn't) and beautiful visuals. A fun intelligent action movie.
