According to many film makers, the world of the future is a disaster. From the newest films which have become available to the viewing public, this becomes the norm. Take this film for example, it's called " Babylon A.D. " based on the original story called "Babylon Babies." In this feature, our hero is none other than popular actor and action figure Vin Diesel playing Toorop, a ex-mercenary soldier who has been reduced to a scavenging transporter of people. His assignment is to receive both an unusual young nun named Aurora (Melanie Thierry) from a special church called the Noelite Convent (Michelle Yeoh) and her guardian named Sister Rebeka. He is ordered to transport them safely to America, a country where he is considered a terrorist. What Toorop understands is he is once again working for Gorsky (Gérard Depardieu) a powerful and ruthless Russian underworld boss, who will pay him an extraordinary price to see that the girl arrives in America and turned over to a Dr. Newton. The cybernetic doctor is not only working for the High Priestess (Charlotte Rampling) but has his own agenda for the girl. What he does not know, but soon learns is the knowledge the girl may be a sleeper threat to him, his boss and to those who don't want the girl to live after she arrives in America. The amount of explosive drama and exciting action makes this film a genuine thriller. If the hero survives, it will happen because he broke his own fast rule. Great film, ****
