Synopsis: District B-13 is set in a futuristic urban jungle where gangsters run the streets and a neutron bomb is set to blow. In a race against time to stop the explosion, two men, experts in the extreme jumping sport Parkour, literally hurl themselves from one building to another, fusing martial arts to acrobatics with jaw-dropping effect.
Critics' Reviews
Makes everything Hollywood has lately done in the action genre look clumsy, dull and stale. It is a short, nonstop stuntfest that, by going back to basics and placing them on the screen with simple, breathless stylishness, turns what is essentially a lowlife movie form into something one is not embarrassed to call "pure" cinema--all energy, movement and high kinetic wit.
