Movie Reviews of District B13 [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: The French Got Something Right
Summary: 5 Stars

Wow. I ended up saying that a lot during this movie. At first I was skeptical considering this movie is in French and has no one in it who I'd ever heard of, but one of my friends told me it was a great movie so I gave it a shot. Boy, am I glad I did. This movie is non-stop action and has the best fight choreography I have ever seen. Ever. The plot is good (for an action movie) and the acting isn't bad. If you liked The Transporter because of the great action, then you'll love this movie. The two lead actors are both stuntmen and do all their own stunts brilliantly. This movie features a lot of parkour, or free running, and it's a joy to watch. I watched the movie with English dubbing and I have to say I was impressed with the quality. If you're a true fan of action movies you owe it to yourself to see this one in beautiful HD.

Summary of District B13 [Blu-ray]

Brought to you by the producer of Transporter, Transporter II, Ong-Bak, The Professional and La Femme Nikita. Paris, 2010. An isolation wall surrounds the ghetto cities of District B13. Within these walls, without effective law enforcement, gang rule is absolute. Damien is a member of an elite police squadron highly trained in martial arts. He goes undercover to infiltrate a gang in order to defuse a neutron bomb and save District B13 from annihilation. Damien recruits the help of a criminal named Leïto-whose only goal is to save his sister from the clutches of the same gang. SPECIAL FEATURES * Making of District B13 * Deleted Scenes/Outtakes * Stunt Reel

For eye-popping kinetic thrills, District B13 tops the class. In the near future, the worst ghettos of Paris have been walled in and left to rot. When a neutron bomb gets stolen by a criminal kingpin in seedy District B13, Damien--a cop who specializes in deep cover assignments (Cyril Raffaelli, a stuntman turned actor)--has to team up with Leito (David Belle), who grew up in the district and has his own reason for going back: the kingpin kidnapped his sister (tough yet adorable gamine Dany Verissimo). The plot takes a few preposterous turns, but it's beside the point--every turn serves only to maintain the relentless flow of sheer physical prowess. Belle is one of the inventors of a sport called parkour, which treats a city's architecture like an obstacle course; while running from gun-toting thugs, Leito leaps, bounds, and scrambles up and down buildings with astonishing grace. The fight sequences are just as down-to-earth yet over-the-top as Damien whirls, kicks, and crunches through armies of bad guys. Just as important is the tongue-in-cheek tone that never turns smirky; the movie doesn't take itself seriously, but doesn't mock itself or its basic cinematic pleasures. Anyone looking for a break from the overbearing CGI and self-important pomp of Hollywood action movies should watch District B13. --Bret Fetzer
