District B13, 2004

aside from some fairly amazing stunt work (but the new james bond movie probably captures this kinda stuff way better), this movie is a pretty laughable complete piece o' crap. awful editing (that jerky style that's somewhere between a music video and Pimp My Ride), a weak plot and just plain all around silliness. I wish it was a satire... then it would have killed!

This is an action movie in the purest sense: no CG, no wires, just two guys in insanely good shape kicking well-choreographed butt as they leap and bound their way through an urban hell-scape/jungle gym somewhere in Paris of the not-too-distant future. The plot is nothing very substantial or original, but it doesn't need to be in a movie that exists mainly as a showcase for some very impressive, parkour-inspired stunt work. This is the kind of movie Jackie Chan would be making today if he were about 20 years younger... and French. Its lightning-fast pace ensures there's never a dull moment, and by clocking in at just under 90 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. This movie knows what it is, a slick, stylish adrenaline rush, and as such it gets the job done.
