Interesting Sci-fi film coming starring Vin Diesel. I don't know too much about the details of the story other than what is available on the Apple site:
"Vin Diesel stars as a mercenary hired to deliver a package from the
ravages of post-apocalyptic Eastern Europe to a destination in the
teeming megalopolis of New York City. The “package” is a mysterious
young woman with a secret."
The trailer is available here

Saw this last night. Overall I enjoyed it, but I can't help but feel that it could have been done a bit better.
The first two thirds of the film are really good, proper science fiction, with a solid and believable future similar in style and tone to Children of Men and Strange Days and I really got into this, however the last part of the film changes involves things that don't really fit in the world that was set out at the start. The film reportedly ran over budget and over schedule, which might explain why it feels that some of end scenes (one in particular) was thought up by a studio exec thinking "a sci-fi movie needs to have.....".
Still, I enjoyed it and although it's not perfect it's certainly worth watching if you like your gritty-near-future sci-fi
