Jacket: "In the darkly futuristic world of Babylon A.D., the rules are simple: killed or be killed. Vin Diesel stars as Toorop, a ruthless mercenary hired to smuggle a mysterious young woman from the post-apocalyptic confines of Eastern Europe to the glittering megalopolis of New York City. Hunted at every turn, Toorop transports his charge across a nightmarish wasteland only to uncover a shocking secret that will bring the entire world to its knees."
Wikipedia: "Director Mathieu Kassovitz was very unhappy with the distributors, 20th Century Fox, producers and other partners. He described the film as "pure violence and stupidity" and stated that "parts of the movie are like a bad episode of 24." [17]
American artist Khem Caigan designed the sigil that appears as a tattoo on the right side of Toorop's neck - an emblem which originally appeared in the Schlangekraft Necronomicon in 1977. [An example of ripping off the classics. No amount of tattoos would help this film.]
The story is muddled, the look is copied from classic sci-fi films and you're left thinking "what the hell did I just watch?". Don't waste your time.
