Banlieue 13 aka District 13 (2004)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Caught this film about a dystopian 2010 on UK Film4 last night. Directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Bibi Naceri. Lots of cartoon violence and a slightly corny buddy theme against a well-judged trip/hip(?)-hop soundtrack (I'm out of my depth!). Still, it held my interest well, largely due to the attractive/ugly cast and the balletic chase scenes - the first cinematic display of parkour, apparently, which seems to be all about running away.

Worth a look if you have a chance.
