One-dimensional disappointment
I eagerly awaited this film as I missed the chance to see it in the theatres. I think I could have gone through the rest of my life content with never having seen this abominable film. I spent money that would have been more wisely invested in a lottery ticket!Besson tries to impress grandeur with a heavy hand and overblown performances from his cast. I felt badly that Faye Dunaway had anything to do with this piece of trash. John Malkovich, however, progressively chooses roles not really suited for his style of acting and he sticks out like an English lance in this movie. I don't know if perhaps the director incorrectly informed his actors if they were in a comedy or not, but man, avoid this like the plague! At least you have a choice - the victims of the plague never did.
