The District B13 Giveaway And Clips!

the movie was pretty badass. Great stuntchoreography, maybe story wise it lacked a few things.

I saw this yesterday by means of the French DVD. It's pretty good. The editing was just a tad too frenzied for me, and I wish they would've made it a bit longer (maybe with a more climactic ending?)

Entertaining for sure, though.

Looks like TIME liked it - - TIME Magazine - “Let’s put the matter simply: ‘DB13’ makes everything Hollywood has done lately in the action genre look clumsy, dull and stale. Simple breathless stylishness, superb acting, extraordinarily graceful. The whole damned thing is a set piece. This is guaranteed: You will not be able to take your eyes off the screen.” Richard Schinckel

Youtube has a load of clips from the film, well, it has a lot of clips of the ACTION sequences which is what most people are wanting to see.

Just search for Banlieue 13.

I watched the French dvd a few days ago and I promise this movie is worth every moment of your time. It gets you pumped up and makes you want to run on rooftops with crazy hoodlums chasing you. It's a very entertaining movie and it's great fun!! Watch it!

Oh, acting is laughably bad at most times, even from the leads...but damn if the movie isn't a ball of fun. Harmless way to spend 75 minutes, and certainly a great demo for Parkour

I'm with you fellas... Caught this gem at the Toronto Film Fest last year: no oscars coming for D13's acting or script anytime soon, but the film ROCKS on every other level. I'm just wondering if the distribs are going out on a limb here... just checked the papers, in Toronto D13 is opening WIDE, on just about every screen going. For a subtitled movie that's ballsy. Let's see if they can get the 'kidz' to watch a foreign movie, based on its kick-ass action alone. Then we can get some more wide releases of other kick-ass foreign films!
