As we have been travelling it has been 4 weeks since we last went to the cinema. We had seriously considered catching a movie while in France but I figured that the whole language issue might possibly limit the enjoyment of it 😉 I was pretty sure that the dialogue would consist of more than our limited french which revolves around being able to order coffee, various items of food and asking where the toilet is.
So, back in England and off to see Babylon AD starring Vin Diesel. Now if you are familiar with Vin’s past works you will know that it generally consists of action, limited conversation, limited facial expressions and a storyline that survives on lots of explosions and car chases. This was no exception.
Macho dude gets paid to escort important but freaky young chick safely out of cesspool that is Russia (many years from now). Bad dudes following them all the way, bit of martial arts thrown in with car chases, explosions and the like.
As you can tell I was rather unimpressed with this movie and in particular Vin Diesel. The dude is getting older, time to move on and actually try some acting. 2 out of 5.
