settles for mediocrity   2010-05-30
By Josh English (Coeur D'Alene, ID)
Couldnt agree more with other reviewers - This one is trash compared to the first. I would rather sit and watch David Belle on youtube than watch this in HD. Why get David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli if you arent gonna use em to the fullest? Could have hired no names to piece together action sequences......
Not a Great Sequel   2010-05-12
By Cooper Jones (Athens, GA, US)
The first movie, "District B-13," was terrific. I wasn't familiar with the art of Parkour before it. Jackie Chan does it in combination with other martial arts, but Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle are masters of the art. This sequel was good, but didn't live up to the original. If you love martial arts, rent it. There's still plenty of action to make it worth your while.
Just more awesomness   2010-05-02
By Lawrence of Arabia (Stamford, CT)
View this movie more like a continuation of the first and you love it. View it separately and you will find it average and give it 3 stars. Stunts are awesome and it is even funny in parts. I think they could have done better with the plot, but eh. I gave it five stars because someone else seriously gave it one. I think he is way off.
Terrible   2010-02-11
By Michael Martin
If you liked the first one, DO NOT watch this one. The first one was full of kick ass stunts, this one is like a Steven Seagal movie. The second one definitely pussed out, they do slow motion replays, i mean come on.
Parkour MIA   2010-01-06
By J. D. (Central Texas)
It's an okay movie, mostly a rehash of District B13 with a bigger budget but somehow a smaller vision. The storyline is weak, but with a movie like this, it's really nothing more than scaffolding on which to hang the cool stunts. But that's the strange thing about this movie. Cyril is obviously a fantastic gymnast, martial arts expert, and stunt choreographer, but the simple yet powerful artistry of David Belle's parkour is almost missing entirely. The cinematographer and editor could have taken a few simple cues from the myriad of parkour videos posted on YouTube--you don't cut on the action, you shoot an entire sequence of moves. Belle can jump off a building doing a reverse gainer (even though it's not very efficient), roll out into a dead run, leap over a fence with the ease of an alley cat, and disappear through a window 8 feet off the ground all in one captivating take. He doesn't need "movie magic." All he needs are a decent pair of sneakers and a few minutes to think about it. Unfortunately for this movie, some highly difficult maneuvers are cut mid-stream, making it look fake (and some of them clearly are fake). If I want the fake look, I'll rent a Bruce Willis movie. Could someone please capture David Belle on 35mm film without letting their "artistry" get in his way?
