Now Kiriya has directed his first English-language Hollywood production, "Last Knights."

Lucy
"Lucy" is a big movie with a narrow mind; it speaks of all that used to work in a Luc Besson film and doesn't anymore because we're no longer in 1989. Besson ignores that, but he's kept up with current times in other ways. Witness how "Lucy" borrows liberally from recent movies such as "The Dark Knight Rises," "Transcendence" and "Limitless." Besson knows his cinema, but maybe that has taken away from his own store of originality.
