  • Starring: Mélanie Thierry, Michelle Yeoh, Vin Diesel
  • Summary: It is the not-too-distant future, a hardened mercenary known only as Toorop lives by a simple survivor's code: kill...or be killed. His latest assignment has him smuggling a young woman named Aurora from a convent in Kazakhstan to New York City. Toorop, his new young charge Aurora and Aurora's guardian Sister Rebeka embark on a 6,000 mile journey. Facing obstacles at every turn, Toorop, the killer for hire, is tested like never before, in ways he could never have imagined - as he comes to understand that he is the custodian of the only hope for the future of mankind. For the first time in his life, Toorop has to make a choice: to make a difference or walk away and save himself. Too bad it came on the day he died. (20th Century Fox)

    Rich with atmosphere but too similar to films ranging from "Children of Men" to "Doomsday" to carve out its own distinctive niche.

    If nothing else, it's nice to see an action movie that takes Europe, not America, as its grounding point.

    The storyline is a sinkhole that swallows up any sense and suspense.

    The lackluster acting and horrendous dialogue don't help.

    All I can say to all the negative reviews of this movie is this: There are most certainly worse movies in all aspects. While some events in the film were a bit confusing, the plot did make you think, and also left you to draw some conclusions for yourself rather than spelling everything out for you, which I find very refreshing. Additionally, I found the action to be, at worst, different, and at best, pretty cool.… Collapse

    I found that it's a pleasant science-fiction movie. Probably, it's cultural. I watched "Southland Tales" and "Babylon A.D." back to back - I fail to understand how "Southland Tales" could even remotely have better ratings, but for some reason it has. Every flaw you can find in Babylon, is about ten times worse in "Southland Tales". I found that interesting.… Expand

    I love Vin, but this one made no sense! The movie leaves you with more unanswered questions.. like is there a book? Vin is the eye candy that's the only reason to watch, there are some interesting technologies, but poorly developed story lines leave you with questions... unfortunately, disappointing. Will be waiting for the dvd, hopefully there are some extended scenes, that explain something!… Expand

    Let's put it this way. If you see it you will love the action scenes and the traveling. The real problem is a story that doesn't make sense in the least.… Expand
