An entertaining mix

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 2015)

Yep! Truly a Luc Besson movie. A little bit of James Bond, a touch of Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis, Austin Powers, even Kill Bill in those intervals in fighting, though here bordering on tedious. A kind of sound track reminiscent of his other movies, I happen to like generally. Add a little touch of originality and shake well and voila: you got a totally ridiculous, preposterous and yet funny movie. The car chases were good and predictable. The rocket propelled grenades or missiles changing course in mid flight; if they were heat seeking, I keep wondering where the heat was coming from. A toaster perhaps or a coffee machine? This is not the kind of movie I would watch twice but what the hell. I saw it on TV and it was fun. I give it five stars for entertainment value. There are far, far worse movies in this genre out there.
