I'm told it's Luc Besson's new film, anyone seen it? I fell in love with the Taxi films recently and I'm dying for more!

Luc Besson. Didn't he also do Leon and The Fifth Element?

No idea, I can't remember my own name most mornings. Other people's names/works are pushing it a little.

if you read the review on www.imdb.com its much in the same vein as the 5th element. not plot wise, but style

He wrote the screenplay I understand and was one of the producers but did not direct it. Haven't seen the film but the trailer makes it look really doggy.

If you liked The One (like Ian J did) or Kiss Of The Dragon then you'll probably like this.
It's crap. Luc Besson's a good writer/director, but give his material to someone less talented to direct and it turns into bilge.

Got a dodgy copy of the one, never watched it, got an R1 DVD of Kiss of the Dragon, again, never watched!

Your not missing much. The only good thing about Kiss of the Dragon is the baddie is truely a nasty man.
