Interesting visuals and a super 80's soundtrack make it worth watching for fans of Besson. Other than that its a nothing script with some overburdened guys half-heartedly poking each other.

Generally boring but very visually striking. The ending is good for a laugh at least.

Life in the post-apocalypse, as in the State of Nature, is nasty, brutish & short. The characters' costumes/armour are somewhat interesting (a sort of Mad Max / steampunk hybrid); the plot & action scenes not so much. Soundtrack is suitably passe. Worth a watch. Thanks to my grade-school French, I can report that the title means "the Second-Last", which is pertinent to the plot, I guess.

There's some cool stuff going on with the costumes, though their purpose eluded me, but other than that everything was merely competent. Most of the interest comes in the glimpses of potential one sees in Besson's then developing style. It's so sad that everyone has asthma in the future.

It's interesting to see the genesis of Besson's visual ideas, and a couple of the early shots are somewhat striking, but there's really not much to this post-apocalyptic short. It devolves into two guys fighting to the death among the blasted ruins of a human city, and Besson's knack for staging exciting action sequences obviously hadn't developed yet. Still worth 11 minutes of your time if you're a fan of the director.
