District B13 (2004 R)

  The movie stars Cyril Raffacelli (Kiss of the Dragon), David Belle, Tony D'Amario, Bibi Naceri, Dany Verissimo, Francois Chattot, and Nicolas Woirion.
   The plot is a elite unit cop and a vigilane are sent into a walled off section of a future Paris (think Escape from New Youk I think.  I have not seen Escape from New York.) to disarm a bomb stolen by a drug gang.
   So first of all the movie is subtitled if that bothers you, think about not seeing this movie.  I am sure the plot is nothing new.  It will never be up for Best Foreign Language Oscar.  That being said if you like movies like Die Hard (only example I can think of off hand) you will like this movie.  For what it is it is good.  If you want to go and see a fast paced movie go and stream this one.  There is a little bt of social comentary towards the end I wish there was a little more.
   Im rating this movie as a strong C+ or a weak B-.  Leave your brain at the door and have a good time  There were a lot of good stunts in the movie.  I forget what its called but its something like a freelance scalling of walls.
