Is this for real? We're always stoked to hear about another movie with La Bellisima Bellucci but this latest seems like a joke. Here's the blurb from the official site:
"Clive Owen stars as Mr. Smith, a mysterious loner who teams up with an unlikely ally (Monica Bellucci) to protect a newborn baby from a determined criminal (Paul Giamatti) who hunts them throughout the bowels of the city."
The cast seems fine. We like Giamatti and Owen in some things, but protecting newborns with big guns is only the most cliche premise in history.
The images on the site are not kind to the aging-but-still-gorgeous Bellucci, the lighting plays up haggard a little too much but she is supposed to have just had a baby (a newborn baby who doesn't get Shaken Baby Syndrome or some other sickness from being held while its mother and a lone stranger run through the 'bowels of the city' -- a super-child really.)
PS. We just looked it up and Bellucci is not playing the mother of baby but rather a prostitute who lends a helping hand. So 'haggard' still applies.
PPS. Look for a freakish sex scene where The Dairy Queen (Bellucci), named because she caters to men's lactation/mommy fetish, copulates wildly and abandonedly in the midst of a heated shootout. This just sounds better and better. And classier. Way classier.
