Babylon A.D. (Unrated) (2008)

Vin plays his usual kind of suspicious tough guy role. He’s a mercenary hired to protect a girl as she moves from point A to point B.
The film works best when it isn't being an action movie, but the music likes to pretend otherwise. There’s a potentially interesting film lurking somewhere within the mess, but it’s too deeply buried.
Some research into the reason for the different running times showed that the shorter theatrical version had some major studio interference, including changing important dialogue, adding an unnecessary car chase and gluing on a happy ending. If you live in Europe you're spared that version. If you live in the States you've got both to choose from.
