Review of Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss (2006) by Elizabeth T — 29 Aug 2007
Based on one of the countless screenplays Luc Besson written and produced during his directing hiatus, Banlieue 13 is an original and fast-paced action movie set in a futuristic Paris, where a group of policemen, enlisting the help of an ex-thug, are trying to infiltrate in a gang to defuse a nuclear bomb.
Directed by Europa Corp. favorite DP Pierre Morel (The Transporter, Danny the Dog), the movie features spectacular action scenes and interesting characters. The setting is really particular, but unfortunately, even if it's very unusual seeing a movie like this coming from the old Europe, the plot is very similar to other action flicks.
However, the movie is more than enjoyable, and if you want to have fun watching an action picture that's a bit different from the other ones, I think you will like Banlieue 13.
