OVER HYPED + AMATEURISH ACTING + BELOW-PAR PLOT = Not worth buying.

I rented this movie after reading many praises for the stunts. It's called "parkour". It's a kind of free style jumping over any obstacles such as walls, fences, stones, etc. Yes, they look good but after 30 minutes of seeing the same stuff again and again, it's boring. Jackie Chan's stunts are different and much more engaging.

The main problem of this movie is the acting. It's amateurish. For example, when a guy hit another person, I can see it's obviously fake!

The plot is typical of this kind of genre.

No wonder this DVD did not make much money in North Ameria. It might worth watching once for curiosity. August 4, 2008

B13 review

I liked the action in the movie. the stunts are very good and the fighting is good. I imagine I will hear more about the man who plays the cop.

Pure Fun

This movie does NOT have the best story line or dialog. Point-blank the only real reason to watch this movie is to see a wonderful display of Parkour (also known as Freestyle Running/Walking. Google it).

PLOT: in the future cities get worse, blah blah blah. The worst section is known as District B13. One of the main characters Leito, is from District B13. He gets sent to prison for killing a man. Later on he tries to save his sister with the conditional help of the other main character (and founder of Parkour) who's using him to help find and defuse a bomb that is supposed to be somewhere in the district. I'm not using names because they're not important.

once again, the ONLY reason to watch this movie is because of the incredible no-wire stunts that they do. some serious don't-try-this-at-home jumps, flips, and fighting. If you've seen Die Hard with a Vengeance, the founder of Parkour is the white-blond haired guy who's jumping around the pipes when Bruce Willis is in the ventilation system. the one that Bruce calls a G-d monkey. This movie is seriously worth watching if you love a good action scene that involves incredible stunt work without the use of wires. think: Jackie Chan on speed, and you might get an idea of what goes on.

Great Action Flick

This movie caught me by suprise. It's great! I only wish that the blu ray disc version used subtitles and was not dubbed. June 30, 2008
