The film doesn't pretend to be about anything other than action — and that's an honest position. The director constructs scenes with a feel for space, pace, and rhythm.

Director: Jean-Jacques Beineix

Viewing atmosphere: Big screen, decent sound. This is cinema that should sound loud and fill the room.
