This English-language French production by Luc Besson — a filmmaker with a history of hits in North America — was supposed to do well here, but didn’t. Casting Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne in the lead roles may have been a mistake. While they’re both talented, they’re not really names to hang a $200 million production on. Another issue was that the French comic the film was based on isn’t all that well known in America. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the movie did big business in France, and was also a huge hit in China.
oh dear.. i just realized you are right....
John Boyega is not as great as he thinks he is.
