The concept to this is so great, but ultimately I had a hard time really enjoying my time with it for the 93 minutes. It would have made a better short. It’s look feels like if Akira Kurosawa directed THE ROAD WARRIOR. The music, at times, is often jarring and feels out place. It’s very of the ‘80s while the world of the film isn’t. Even without words, Jean Reno really pops on screen. It’s interesting that Luc Besson turns this bespectacled man into a brute. The scene with the gas is just beautiful, although the whole film just feels futile for humanity.
