District 13
7 Jul 2006 12:59 amwas very very cool.
A lot like the first Matrix, actually, not much content but very engaging to watch. You just sit there with your mouth open marvelling at the Parkour stunts, cringing when punches, kicks and throws connect, grinning and giggling at the gangsta characters.
Very stark, high contrast pictures and, unlike other near/dark future films, bright.
Strangely likeable characters, too, especially the gangstas.
Fantastic film, hope it'll get a general release but that might be unlikely as it's French with subtitles...
