Movie #165 - District B13

District B13
2004 - Rated R - 1 hr 24 min
Director: Pierre Morel
Starring: Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle, Tony D'Amario

French action flick, anyone?

Mike looooooves this movie and I have to admit that it's fun to watch for the stunts.  It's set in the ghettos of Paris in 2010, which is sorta funny, now that we've passed that. 

It is filled with great action sequences and pretty killer stunts.  The plot is okay, a bit lacking and kinda predictable, but the twist at the end and the set-up that ensues is pretty cool.  I won't ruin it if you're interested, just say that it's nice to see some real satisfaction for government wrong-doings...

Enjoy all the building hopping if you do sit down with this one.  And yes, it's dubbed (which has it's good points and bad) so you won't have to split your focus reading subtitles, you can just watch the actors beat the crap out of each other.
