DISTRICT 13 (2007)

Cast

Plot

It's 2010 and a wall has been built around Paris's most criminally inclined neighbourhood, a prison of sorts but run by the inmates, all of whom answer to the lord of it all, Taha. However when Taha kidnaps the sister of heroic loner Leito his days immediately become numbered. I fear I've over complicated the plot being as this makes Taxi look overly wordy, but 'District 13' is all about the action and the ‘Free Running' set pieces have to be one of the most mesmerising expressions of physical agility and grace to hit the big screen in years. So there you go, a rather naff, cheesy, unoriginal and dim witted film utterly redeemed by the stunning action choreography.
