Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse (2003)

Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse (2003)
Rating: ★★
Dec 15, 2005Biblical End Times Serial Killer Thriller
Luc Besson scripted sequel to the serial killer thriller The Crimson Rivers. However, in director Olivier Dahan's hands, this emerges as a empty-headed series of shock images and random action scenes

May 5, 2011Miniature Magical World
This was the second of Luc Besson's Minimoys films, partly animated children's films set in a world of miniature creatures. Here the charms of the first film seem thinly stretched

Banlieue 13: Ultimatum (2009)
Rating: ★★★
Aug 24, 2011French Future Action/Walled-Off Neighbourhood
Sequel to the French action hit. The plot shuffles the same basic elements around but it is the action we have come for, which is slow to start but soon kicks into exhilarating high gear

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec (2010)

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec (2010)
Rating: ★★★
May 8, 2012Girl Writer's Fantastical Adventures
Luc Besson adapts a French comic-book – sort of a female version of Tintin – with uneven but generally amiable regard. The result is somewhere between an Indiana Jones adventure and the quirkness of an Amelie

Lucy (2014)
Rating: ★★★
Jul 27, 2014Drug Grants Enhanced Intelligence and Superpowers/Action Film
Luc Besson makes a preposterously entertaining work where drug mule Scarlett Johansson develops superhuman mental capabilities - sort of if you imagine Limitless reconceived as an action film

Brick Mansions (2014)
Rating: ★★
May 2, 2014Near Future Action/Walled-Off Ghetto
The English-language remake of the Luc Besson-produced Banlieue 13. The electrifying parkour scenes of the original now seem routine and the film's social set-up so thinly sketched as to be negligible as science-fiction

The Warriors Gate (2016)
Rating: ★
Oct 2, 2017Videogamer Transported to Ancient China
Luc Besson written/produced effort where a videogamer kid is transported to Ancient China. A blatant copy of The Forbidden Kingdom that manages to be fundamentally implausible on every level and one of the worst attempts to pander to the Chinese box-office

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Rating: ★★★★
Nov 18, 2017Space Opera/Comic-Book Adaptation
It was a box-office bomb but this is one of the most breathtaking and completely designed SF work to ever cross the screen. In terms of effects, sets and costuming, Luc Besson gives us a work that is an overwhelming treat for the eyes
