October 7, 2009''Oh, you're a disgrace to the profession. You're not a mercenary, you're a fucking terrorist. You need two things to live in this business, your balls and your word. You don't have either! You know the difference between you and me, Karl? I still got both.''

September 22, 2009A spectacular and mind-blowing blast of great science fiction and hard-hitting action in this wickedly cool and awsome action-thriller. It's Blade Runner meets Children of men. It's solid, thrilling and cool. A stylish and well-crafted film thats terifficly entertaining from star...( read more)

August 30, 2009Babylon AD is another action film from Vin Diesel. Vin is a hired transporter for a special person going to America from Russia. This is an alright film.

July 26, 2009What the ....?
Did this budget run so seriously overbudget its ending was canned?
Oh.
Apparently it did.
Because the ending just skips ahead from a firefight to suddenly a birthing scene, and then... years later...
Up until that point I would have said it was a moderately en...( read more) -
July 19, 2009Babylon A.D. does have Vin Diesel in it's corner. Even the actions scenes aren't memorable in this futuristic and horribly written mess.

November 7, 2009And Mathieu Kassovitz totally loses it! Yes, another good foreign director sucked by Hollywood's stereotypes and financial empire. Does it entertain? Oh yes, and it stops there. Vin Diesel will never be able to get out from the mindless realm he's stuck to.

October 24, 2009Nonsense from beginning to end. A bleak depiction of the future and mankind on the whole - but the plot was utter bumpkum. If you asked me to write a synopsis of what the film was about, I honestly couldn't tell you...

October 20, 2009Despite the presence of Michelle Yeoh, a great cameo by Gerard Depardieu and some nice action sequences, it really is a waste of your time. More holes in the plot than a machine gun ridden corpse. Full of unintentionally funny dialog and moments where you just shake your head i...( read more)

October 5, 2009Vin Diesel plays one of those cynical, tough-guy action heroes that he's so good at. Does he ever play anything else?
This isn't too bad a scifi/action thriller, but it has some serious lapses in the plot. I'm assuming a lot of this is the fault of it being a bad book to movie a...( read more)

December 7, 2008One hell of a mess. I can't understand how this is made by the same guy who did La Haine
-
August 26, 2008. looks like it's going to be cool, because Vin Diesel has played in movies like this b/4 so this cool movie...
-
August 8, 2008i'm sort of glad they are not hyping this too much (yet) as this summer there has been quite a few films hyped heavily and they have actually been a big disappointment(e.g.HELLBOY2).
VIN DIESEL returns to the big screen and hopefully the trailer is not the only good thing about this film!!!! -
April 25, 2008This looks like it could be pretty good. It will be under rated due to the bigger movies out this year.
