District b13 2004 movie movie#
Now if watching a movie about a French guy running doesn’t sound particularly exciting, Cyril Raffaeli is on hand to bring the pain with his brand of hard hitting martial arts. Sometimes known as Freerunning, American audiences may remember it from the pre credit scene of Casino Royale. Somebody on the internet once quipped that only the French could invent a martial art about running away from a fight. Why is this considered a martial art? Because you need to get to and away from the fight, of course. It is a military term that loosely translates into surmounting obstacles. The real star of this movie may be the French martial art of Parkour which was created by the films star David Bell. Luc Besson’s New Assassin Actioner ‘Anna’ Looks Ultimately Awesome The Ultimate Parkour Movie You will believe a man can fly after seeing this movie. Queue the most exciting foot chase outside of Point Break or Narc, where David Bell employs the French martial art of Parkour to fantastic effect. When he intercepts a shipment of heroin meant to hit the streets, the gangs come calling to get their drugs back. Our hero Leïto played by David Bell is the protector of one of the high rise tenements and its residents.
The French government has erected walls around the worst ghettos in Paris, effectively trapping the residents within and leaving them at the mercy of gangs and crime lords. This may be the most hyperkinetic action movie ever put to celluloid for 2004’s District B13. Think of a cross between the world of New Jack City, with the martial arts of The Raid and the action of Judge Dread, set in the universe of Escape From New York produced by action legend Luc Besson. I would like to nominate a movie for the greatest foreign film in the Ultimate Action Category. Because who doesn’t love ultimate action more than the French?
