Synopsis: Hong Kong action icon Michelle Yeoh stars alongside American muscle Vin Diesel in this science fiction thriller concerning a nun who is charged with the task of caring for a young girl who may be the carrier of a deadly virus. Based on author Maurice Dantec's Babylon Babies, this tale of genetic manipulation comes to the screen courtesy of director Mathieu Kassovitz. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

My Review: This movie was really weird. The whole storyline was strange from the very beginning and it was never quite clear what was going on and how things got the way that they were. Also, the ending of this film was really weird and didn't make a lot of sense how things all fit together. On top of that, I am not even sure where the name of this film came from. Really, it was never made clear what was going on and who was who. There was some decent action in the film, but not much of a love story to speak of. The film was still decent, but just weird.

Recommend: Probably not unless you are a big Vin Diesel fan (my wife, hence watching this show). This film could have been much better if they would have fully explained the storyline.
