The StoryVeteran-turned-mercenary Thoorop takes a high-risk job and escorts a woman from Russia to America. However, little does he know that she is host to an organism that a cult wants to harvest in order to produce a genetically modified Messiah.
The Good
I just plain loved this movie, This movie had the distinct feel of a Sci-Fi flick. Generally I'm not to big on the whole over-the-top sci-fi, but this film kicks it out of the park with its mix up special and Visual effects. You notice straight away that this movies gonna be awesome when you see Vin Deisel actually acted really well.
The Bad
Yes, the action doesn't start in the first two seconds of the movie. But there in lies the problem, there wasn't enough action to satisfy my need (Though the futuristic building of earth looked a lot like Blade Runner). Oh, and the story was so minimal I could have sworn it was never there! Yeah sure they had a 15 minute scene explaining the story but then BLAM! back into whatever it is. It was almost as if they thought you would figure out who those people who are chasing them are (Nope, I guess we'll just leave it a mystery until the very end then we'll hit them with a sequel)
God I hope not! especially after the ending to film happened, if they did make another one it wouldn't make sense.
All-In-All
This was an fun entertianing film to watch, and if they come out with a orchestral soundtrack all definitely pick that up.
