Luc Besson is a great writer, some of my favs are The Fifth Element and The Professional.

I like Besson's visual sense quite a bit, but his stories have felt thin to me (e.g. the 5th Element is love and the ultimate weapon can't do her job without a lil' lovin' from the Willis...WTF?). Still, if the visuals are up to par I can always bring headphones. :)
