One of the most entertaining action flicks I’ve seen in a year or two is the frenzied French import known as "District B13," which will hit limited release (thanks to Magnolia Pictures) on June 2nd. You might have to wait for the DVD release, but if you dig quick-paced and mega-kinetic action schtick, then you’ll dig this movie. Meanwhile, IGN FilmForce has the trailer.
"Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) is a member of the police elite task force. As a special intervention unit officer and expert in martial arts, he is a master in the field of infiltration, and well versed in successfully completing his operations through rapid, precise and often strong-arm actions.
This time, the government has assigned him the most extreme expedition of his entire career: a weapon of mass destruction has been stolen by the most powerful gang of District B13. Assigned to infiltrate the sector to defuse the bomb, Damien must join hands with Leïto (David Belle), whose sole goal is to save his sister, fallen into the hands of the same gang. He is, moreover, the only one who knows District B13 like the back of his hand."
