Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. The director of “La Haine” has expressed his disappointment in the final cut of this Prague-shot post-apocalyptic thriller set in Eastern Europe and “the teeming megalopolis of New York City,” where Vin Diesel must deliver a “package”—”a mysterious young woman with a secret.” With Michelle Yeoh, Melanie Thierry, Lambert Wilson, Mark Strong, Gerard Depardieu and Charlotte Rampling as the “Neolite Priestess.” Shot by the talented Thierry Arbogast, a frequent collaborator of Luc Besson. 99m. NR. Not previewed.
