What is Babylon A.D. about?
A veteran-turned-mercenary is hired to take a young woman with a secret from post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe to New York City.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
A mercenary escorts a mysterious woman across a gritty, post-apocalyptic landscape in a brisk, suspenseful adventure.
Pulpy. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
