- DirectorLuc BessonStarsChristopher LambertIsabelle AdjaniRichard BohringerOn improvising a burglary at a shady tycoon's home, Fred takes refuge in the hip and surreal universe of the Paris Metro and encounters its assorted denizens, the tycoon's henchmen and his disenchanted young wife.Luc Besson's first film is a seedy look into Parisian subway culture - literally.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean-Marc BarrJean RenoRosanna ArquetteThe rivalry between Enzo and Jacques, two childhood friends and now world-renowned free divers, becomes a beautiful and perilous journey into oneself and the unknown.Though this movie features beautiful cinematography, it drags on, being way too overblown and melodramatic.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsAnne ParillaudMarc DuretPatrick FontanaConvicted felon Nikita isn't going to jail; she's given a new identity and trained, stylishly, as a top secret spy/assassin.Begins with the materials of a violent thriller but transcends them with the story of the heroine's transformation.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean RenoGary OldmanNatalie PortmanAn Italian hit man protects a New York orphan.Pivoting on the unusual relationship between seasoned hitman and his 12-year-old apprentice -- a breakout turn by young Natalie Portman -- Luc Besson's Léon is a stylish and oddly affecting thriller.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsBruce WillisMilla JovovichGary OldmanIn the colorful future, a cab driver unwittingly becomes the central figure in the search for a legendary cosmic weapon to keep Evil and Mr. Zorg at bay.Visually inventive and gleefully over the top, Luc Besson's The Fifth Element is a fantastic piece of pop sci-fi that never takes itself too seriously.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsMilla JovovichJohn MalkovichRab AffleckA young girl receives a vision that drives her to rid France of its oppressors.The heavy-handed narrative collapses under its own weight.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsRie RasmussenJamel DebbouzeGilbert MelkiA beautiful woman helps an inept scam artist get his game together.The clunky dialogue and shallow characters fail to capitalize upon Angel-A's stunning, poetic cinematography.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsFreddie HighmoreMia FarrowMadonnaTen-year-old Arthur, in a bid to save his grandfather's house from being demolished, goes looking for some much-fabled hidden treasure in the land of the Minimoys, tiny people living in harmony with nature.Arthur wastes its big-name voice talent on a predictable script and substandard CG animation.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsSelena GomezFreddie HighmoreOmar SyArthur answers a distress call from Princess Selenia, who is menaced by the nefarious Maltazard.While a colossal local release should yield Gallic gold, the pic looks to flounder in Anglo territories.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsLouise BourgoinMathieu AmalricGilles LelloucheAn adventure set in the early part of the 20th century and focused on a popular novelist and her dealings with would-be suitors, the cops, monsters, and other distractions.It all plays on one note of droll flippancy, which, while pleasingly mordant, is all style and very little substance.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsMia FarrowRon CrawfordRobert StantonWith Maltazard now seven feet tall and Arthur still two inches small, our hero must find a way to grow back to his normal size and stop the Evil M once and for all, with the help of Selenia and Betameche.Fewer uncanny valley faces make the movie more appealing
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsMichelle YeohDavid ThewlisJonathan RaggettThe story of Aung San Suu Kyi as she becomes the core of Burma's democracy movement, and her relationship with her husband, writer Michael Aris.[It] does indeed deal with a real life, but follows so faithfully the traditional shape of film biography that it feels less convincing.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsRobert De NiroMichelle PfeifferDianna AgronThe Manzoni family, a notorious Mafia clan, is relocated to Normandy, France, under the Witness Protection Program, where fitting in soon becomes challenging as their old habits die hard.Luc Besson's The Family suffers from an overly familiar setup and a number of jarring tonal shifts.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsScarlett JohanssonMorgan FreemanChoi Min-sikA woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.Enthusiastic and silly, Lucy powers through the movie's logic gaps with cheesy thrills plus Scarlett Johansson's charm -- and mostly succeeds at it.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsDane DeHaanCara DelevingneClive OwenA dark force threatens Alpha, a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets. Special operatives Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets uses sheer kinetic energy and visual thrills to overcome narrative obstacles and offer a viewing experience whose surreal pleasures often outweigh its flaws.
