But when neutron weapon is stolen by a ghetto gangmember, enter super-cop Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) and wrongly-imprisoned ghetto-dweller Leito (David Belle). They're both hard-as-nails and experts in Le Parkour, an extreme sport involving wall scaling, roof-running and building-to-building leaping... From the pen of multi-talented action maestro Luc Besson (director of Leon, producer of The Transporter) comes a full throttle action-thriller with physical thrills and spills to rival even Ong-Bak!

 ... rooftops and in other unbelievable locations, emphasising the grace and technical aspects. This can be quite cleverly and briskly harnessed into an action film arena, and here it is rather brilliantly. There isn't too much to speak of plot wise - District B13 is a slum area in France, and it has a lot of trouble with gangs, so when a neutron bomb is planted somewhere in the slums, a gang of free runners team up to put a stop to it, including the creator of parkour himself, David Belle. Thoroughly ridiculous thoug...more

Crowned Review District 13 (DVD): Free Running (that costs £11.99) (1012 words)

Most things in life cost something, be it food, shelter or just having a good time. However, I always assumed that running was free. You get up, leave the house and run for your hearts content. Therefore, I was quite shocked to see a new type of activity called ‘Free Running’; yes we know it’s free! Turns out that Free Running is a form of extreme sport that has you running over objects and buildings. The ‘sport’ is particular popular in France were it has been used in a recent action film ‘District 13’. Can this new form of action give ‘District 13’ the uniqueness it will need to overcome its foreign origins and diluted market? The initial story premise ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Le Parkour finally hits movie screens (896 words)
by - written on 04/09/06 (Very useful, 960 readings)
Rating:

Luc Besson, director of such classics as Leon, Nikita & Subway, has, of late, been concentrating on writing and producing out and out action films. Taxi, Taxi 2, Transporter 1 & 2 and Jet Li's Kiss of The Dragon all coming from his pen and producing skills in the last 5 years or so. All these films have a few things in common, they are short on overall plot but high on action, unbelievable stunts and are always chock full of rip-roaring excitement. District 13 changes nothing at all, the formula is exactly the same, after all why change anything when it is doing so well. District 13 is the ghetto of Paris, it is so reviled and hated by the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review District 13 (DVD): An absolute rollercoaster ride of adrenaline (589 words)
by - written on 12/07/09 (Very useful, 18 readings)
Rating:

From the creative mind of Luc Besson the stylish French director of the Big Blue, Nikita, Leon and AngelA, this film is a violent action film set in the heart of urban Paris, although he did only write this and not direct it. The film is by the same people who created the Transporter so is similar in many senses being fast, action packed and with some wicked stunts. District 13 of the title is a rough tough suburb of Paris, cut off from the rest of the city by a manned wall allowing very little entry and exit, it is violent, controlled by gangs and lawless. Unfortunately the City has to take notice of this gritty little outpost when one of the gangs ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Would you want to live here? (834 words)

FILM ONLY REVIEW Free Running - A now quite popular urban sport in which runners attempt to traverse surroundings in a fluid and aethetically pleasing way using flips, somersaults and gymnastic techniques. Also one of the few things that you can do in London without having to pay a congestion charge. Give it two weeks. Free running is the basis of District 13 or Banlieue 13 as its known in France. It's a French film by the way. It came out a couple of years ago when I happened to be living in Paris for my year abroad. Sadly I never got to see it for one reason or another and it passed me by. Apart from posters, the publicity wasn't very good ...  Read the complete review
