District B13
September 5, 2006
One of my favorite films from this summer was District B13. It's a French action film that takes advantage of the Parkour (like freestyle walking, but more intense) craze. The characters are a little forgettable, but everything else (action, style and setting especially) is great. Personally, I'm just happy a good non-english/non-asian action movie is out.
The movie is out on DVD today. I suggest you either buy it from Amazon or rent it from Netflix. When I reviewed it for The Movie Binge, it passed the yo-dude test while satiating the indie snob in me.

Comment #1:
My advice - watch it in French with subtitles. The voice acting for the English dub is terrible. I was laughing the whole time when I first saw the dub. The voices do not fit.
But the movie rocks!
