This is a real guys movie. The previews were awesome! That's what dragged me into all this. But this plot is so retarded.
Set in 2010 Paris, the government has fenced off "problem area's" into different districts.
Barrio 13 is supposed to be the most hard-core. Yet one of our heroes grew up there and chose not to sell crack, and become the local do-gooder instead. After he dumps millions of dollars worth of coke down the drain, the big drug lord want him dead, and they kidnap his sister to lure him into their trap.
Our other hero is a cop sent into District B13 to, get this, detonate a nuclear bomb that was stolen from the government and is now on a 23 hour countdown. Of course it's the very predictable red digital numbers that beep as every second passes. OOooo.
Some how these two hook up, and it really reminded me of playing Double Dragon on Sega Genesis. Two buff dudes kickin' ass in baggy pants and tank tops. Chain link fences, and loads of bad guys to beat up.
There were a bunch of fight scenes, and a super cool acrobatics scene in the beginning of the movie. If you are a fan of that stuff, you'll love this movie. This guy jumps from rooftop to rooftop, and can easily slip through the most narrow of passages. It is from the makers of the Transporter so think along those lines.
It was just too predicable for me. It is in French, but the dubbed version isn't that bad. If you do choose to watch it in French be warned that they talk really fast, and the subs are really quick. If you wear glasses use 'em.
So if you are an action buff, or know the name of the last Steven Segal movie you could really enjoy this movie.
