Review of District B13 (2004) by Clairemarie O — 28 Feb 2009
One part EFNY, one part Fast & the Furious, and a large part of the Parkour fights that have become so popular via Bourne and Bond.
The fights and stunts are truly impressive. (But that's stunt coordinator stuff.) The rest is a real mishmash. I was curious about director Morel after seeing Taken. This isn't hampered by the PG-13 of the current surprise BO champ, but it contains only a few more camera flourishes cribbed from other sources. Otherwise it's the same workman-like effort presently displayed. I suppose it's enough to keep the guy working, but the real credit belongs to the 2nd unit and stunt team.
