District B13

With the film Brick Mansions coming out this Friday I thought I would review original film this one is based off of which is, District B13. Now I don't watch a lot of foreign films, but when I saw the trailer for this I knew I had to give it a chance, and I'm really glad I did.

District B13 is about Capt. Damien Tomaso, played by Cyril Raffaelli who has been in films like Live Free or Die Hard and  Stranded, who has to break into District 13, a part of the city that has a wall built around it to keep the scum there and away from proper society, to stop a bomb from going off. In order to break into the District he needs help from a con who grew up in the district known as Leito, played by David Belle who has been in films like The Family and Babylon A.D. The two work together to stop the bomb, stop the bad guy called Taha Bemamud, played by Bibi Naceri who has been in films like Road Nine and The Code, and save Leito's sister called Lola, played by Dany Verissimo-Petit who has been in films like Urban Cannibal and La planque. 

This movie and its sequel are just total fun movies because the action is really cool. I like the action so much because they use something called parkour. If you don't know what parkour is, here is a short video that shows what it is nicely. If you liked that video you will enjoy this movie as much as I did. The action is really cool, and the acting is great. My only problem with this film is that it is way too short; it is only 84 minutes long. That is only an hour and twenty-four minutes long; I feel that is a little too short. Other than that this film is just plain fun.

In the end, if you are old enough to watch R-rated films I think any fan of action movies will enjoy this film very much. My rating then is that if you like action movies and parkour go and see this film as soon as you can. If there are any movies or TV series you would like me to review please comment and let me know.
