criticism
Vin Diesel is like a direct descendant of the action heroes of the 1980s: a scarred face, a toned, muscled body, some cool one-liner "on the lips, to the stoic attitude of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but also the agility of a Kurt Russell - and you have that star for the multiple needs of the modern action cinema. An attribute raises diesel still out in particular: his deep, sonorous voice, which contrasted strangely with its soft, something almost childlike facial features, gives it a personal touch, set it apart from the mass of the same form, usually acting as mediocre colleagues differs. The latest attempt by a French director, to imitate in his home country is big Hollywood movies, for diesel, a similar stroke of luck, as it once was "The Fifth Element" (fd 32 718) by Luc Besson Bruce Willis. And director Mathieu Kassovitz 'adaptation of the novel "Babylon Babies" by Maurice G. Dantec is, as once Besson's film, its hero completely in the center of the story. Besson's science fiction blockbuster with lots of gadgets and ideas but in the distant future anchored, is "Babylon AD" much more timely and therefore more realistic: The world is in chaos, devastated by war, terror and anarchy. The war veteran and mercenary Thoorop ekes out a ruled by warlords and mafia bosses Russian state bordering a sad existence between destruction and disillusion. From the Mafiosi Gorsky, with noticeable enthusiasm shown by Gérard Depardieu greasy, he receives the offer, the young and beautiful Aurora to smuggle into the United States. As a reward for the dangerous job Toorop is made for a better future in the States in view. In its strongest moments, the road movie reminiscent of Cuaron's Children of Men "(fd 37 874). Straightforward draw pictures a bleak, post-apocalyptic world, the disillusionment of the characters can be understandable. In this world the hero is weak. Kassovitz has his characters for an action movie of this kind, especially in the quiet scenes of astonishing amount of space to develop and Charakterauslotung. WEAKNESS "Babylon AD" But in the moments of direct confrontation with the risk of: Here, the previously so carefully constructed scenarios given up entirely to the formulas of genre cinema. A good portion of shootouts and spectacular stunts are now even a recipe for success. These formulas must not be automatically bad, but they lose just as much built up in this atmosphere by their nature Piggy-backed to treatments. Unusually well-contoured and strongly are, however, the female roles. Although Mélanie Thierry as Aurora some stereotypical cute, intended for protection-seeking moments - which side in a climax in the profile recorded setting in which the small declines in the moment very childish-looking woman with the head of the mighty breast of her protector - its role through mysterious skills of young women are given is ultimately that of a strong woman. This also applies to their battle-tested companion "sister Rebecca, played by Michelle Yeoh, and a later emerging" high priestess ". The latter is played by Charlotte Rampling, and here at least is clear that a Another attraction of the film, the supporting roles are well occupied. Despite suffering from positive aspects of "Babylon AD" but at the notorious weakness of many action films, because the plot is basically one-dimensional. A hero a woman passed safely through all dangers, alone and yet not alone, (ver) questioned, but is always his man, it is the successful packaging, this film one of the better of his genre can be.
