I call it "one for the money". The "making of" was more interesting than the movie. Too much exposition or putting up signs like "now this is happening." Maybe the French can't make movies for Americans if that indeed *was* the intended audience. I wished there was a commentary to explain what the hell she swallowed at the beginning because there were no memory cards back early 1990s. Talk about requiring great leaps of faith. One star or maybe two because of everything except direction and story (Luc Besson can do better).
