"I'm very unhappy with the film," director Mathieu Kassovitz told AMC. "I never had a chance to do one scene the way it was written or the way I wanted it to be. The script wasn't respected. Bad producers, bad partners, it was a terrible experience."
"It's pure violence and stupidity," he admits. "The movie is supposed to teach us that the education of our children will mean the future of our planet. All the action scenes had a goal: They were supposed to be driven by either a metaphysical point of view or experience for the characters... instead parts of the movie are like a bad episode of 24."
Also Vin Diesel has not seen a cut of the film in six months. "Am I even in the movie any more, or am I on the cutting room floor?" the actor joked
But Kassovitz doesn't hate the film entirely "I like the energy of it and I got some scenes I'm happy with," he says. "But I know what I had -- I had something much better in my hands but I just wasn't allowed to work."
"I don't see how people who went through all these amazing blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Iron Man this summer will take it."
"I should have chosen a studio that has guts," he says. "Fox was just trying to get a PG-13 movie. I'm ready to go to war against them, but I can't because they don't give a shit."
This is great promotion for me because I'm going to see it just to see how bad it is!
