Banks is a hit man, the best, usually working for Latin American drug cartels. He picks up solitary women, uses them briefly for a job, then kills them. He's in the Southwest, headed toward Mexico, when he picks up Bennie, a woman leaving an abusive marriage, going to Paradise, Arizona. The film follows three tracks: Banks's slow recruitment of Bennie, the set-up for the hit at a swank resort in Mexico, and the FBI's close pursuit of Banks, whom they want alive in hopes he'll rat out his bosses. Bennie may not be who she seems, and there may be a chink in Banks's tough-guy armor. Guns, money, and a chance at Paradise.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Title: Immortal Condensed Storyline: In future New York a floating pyramid has appeared. Horus has judgement cast upon him, so he must find the body of a male to inhabit so he can impregnate a female to preserve his immortality. Notable Acting: I was happy with the performance of Thomas Kretshmann who plays Nikopol, he was the only character who I actually liked in this movie. But this is understandable because he is a known movie actor, appearing in movies such as 'King Kong' and 'The Wanted'. Whereas the other actors are lesser known. Noticeable Camera work: I think one of the few non-standard ones we were given were the POV shots from Jill, but sadly there isn't all too much else to make this movies cinematography stand out. Graphics: I have mentioned that this movie is an odd mixture between CGI and live action. I would have preferred the movie to be one or the other, or at least not to have CGI actor. The heads of the gods are nicely done on one part, but their mouths do not move this is one thing that annoys me, because it looks like they are wearing masks which are fused to their heads and they are trying to speak in a mask. It also has the same movement of the mask of someone trying to speak in one. There is also no emotion presented by the gods as well, their facial expression does not movie which I found slightly boring. But at least they can blink. Incorrect Science: I don't know... I just don't know, this movie has magic gods so I can't really point out the science is wrong, because magic. I find the car system odd as some seem to run on cables like a tram, yet the same cars can fly. I don't see the full logic in this. Overall Feel: The movie is based off the French comic 'La Foire Aux Immortels' and is just as visually interesting as the comic. The movie mixes live action and CGI, this wouldn't seem odd for today, but its the way that it is mixed that is odd. There are human characters which are made of standard CGI while there are others which are actual actors. I will say this now, in defense of this movies oddness. This movie feels like an auteur movie and was designed in the way it is to be stylized. I have mixed feelings about this movie, part of me likes it because it is a movie about Egyptian gods and not about mummies for once. But the other part of me doesn't like it because the CGI and live action do not mix, if I was watching it and the movie had Avatar style CGI, I would love it. But it has CGI which is easily compared to that of current generation games (Xbox 1/PS4), this isn't a bad thing, but it leaves much more to be desired from this. They also didn't give my favourite god lots of screen time (Anubis) and they straight up left out my second favourite (Set). But you do get to see the rivalry between the gods especially once Nikopol mentions Anubis and gets "Don't mention that jackal's name, only my name" I do like this dynamic that the gods do not like each other. For all the movie's flaws I can't help but enjoy the movie, it is a different type of movie. It wouldn't fit into A-Lists of B-Lists, it would be in its own alternative list. I can understand while people wouldn't like this film, it is a different type of movie and wouldn't be one which everyone would like. But given a chance, it could surprise people.

I was pleased to see Thomas in a animated film. I have enjoyed everything he has done that i have seen. I loved Linda Hardy she is a sultry Vixen and has all of the right moves and features. However, a since of fineness with her style and quality of acting. Charlotte Rampling brings a power figure to film making and is impressive in all of her roles that I have seen. I loved the look of the film as I am a fan of the movie and magazine Heavy Metal. It merged a lot of inspirations for futuristic cities like the movie Bladerunner, and The Fifth Element. Some of the sexual situations where stimulating and Linda is certainly hot! A dose of nasty talk between her character Jill and Nikopoli (Thomas Kretschman)caused me to start and stop a few times as well as the boob show. I enjoyed it immensely.Celebrity Cyborg, Kerry Wayne Mallard, Host for the Integrated Cybernetic Wavelength.

So much hate for this work of art! Yikes! The saga of Nikopol and the Immortals ran for a long time in Heavy Metal magazine. I think it came over from the original Metal Hurlant from France. This was a different time. The music was different. The people were different. Our sense of art was different. Many artists and musicians loved to read Heavy Metal/Metal Hurlant back then. It was a sort of comic book for intellectuals. Remember most of us had come out of the world of the 60s and into the 70s. Our sense of things was much different than today. Back then art --especially graphic art--was vital to us. Now, perhaps, its the internet. Then it was still the days of print. We read books copiously. We lived for books. We read graphic art much the same. It was important to us. So, if you like, this Nikopol thing is.. nostalgia? Nostalgia for a time when poetry still existed? A time before the human spirit was crushed and degraded into the withered corrupted thing it is today? Or not. Have it your own way.

Years ago Enki Bilal wrote and drew a graphical novel La Foire aux immortels, which then became a first part of his Nikopol trilogy. In this tale the ancient Egyptian gods return to earth so that Horus (Thomas M. Pollard) can spend his last days in the world he created. But he has an ulterior motive: he wants to impregnate a blue haired, blue tears weeping woman Jill, who herself isn't aware of what she really is. Jill (Linda Hardy) is a woman, who can reproduce with higher beings.Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann) is a prisoner convicted into cryofreeze, who escapes because of an accident jettisons his capsule from a prison ship. He looses his leg, but Horus finds Nicopol to be a perfect host from himself, as most of the humans have been genetically altered beyond humanity, so Horus builds him an iron leg in order to be able to uses his body for his own needs.Visually speaking Immortel is interesting looking movie. Most of the characters are CGI and they've been made to look like the original drawings of Bilal. But as the movie is quite old in the age of CGI these computer generated people stand out like a shore thumb when on the screen despite there's no real humans in the same scene. The difference is even more present when there's real actors. But what works relatively well are the futuristic New York landscapes with flying cars and holographic commercials.As a movie Immortel is far more easy to comprehend than the graphical novel it's based on and that isn't a bad thing. Bilal has clearly wanted to make something similar but different from his own work, but sadly enough the end result is a bit of a hit and miss.
