BABYLON AD Film Review - 12/10/08

This piece of cobblers has so many inherent faults it would be hard to list them all! This dreary action film has a story so thin a light gust of wind would blow it away. One minute action film then the next hi-concept sci-fi? Why are all dystopian futures portrayed as shit? Coming across as mildly egocentric Russian at the start, the story (As it is?) transfers to the States. A handful of action sequences dispersed amongst the dull & plodding plotline end up with a really dead-end farcical ending. Really cannot understand why such a top notch cast ended up in this drivel? The interwoven plot with all it's flaws is so slight it will have you gasping at how trite this codswallop is. Which begs the questions - Is there a really good film here waiting to emerge? Did the Studio butcher it? Was it cut badly by the Director's Production Crew? Who knows? Vin plays a mercenary who has to deliver a young girl across the border - Add various fights and gunplay - Two opposing factions want the girl - More fights/gunplay - Silly ending.
