District 13

This is the last adult film that I will post about this year. I have a few marathon days coming up but they are Pixar or Harry Potter days so there is hardly any reason to post about them.

I wouldn't be surprised if no one that reads this blog actually knew what District 13 was. It is very similar to 'The Raid' but in French and with more free running stunts.

I actually really enjoyed this film. I wasn't sure that I was going to at first because it just looked like the same film done 100x over but in French. This was different, there was more than just one person taking over an area and someone else trying to regain their turf- there was a plot and character development.

The music was fitting and even though it was in french and I couldn't understand any of it, it was the sort of music that would not have been out of place in a Vin Diesel film.  Team work (something Vin Diesel is not widely known for managing) was excellent and at times almost unbelievable but even so it made the film a little different from some of the others like it.

Next year I will watch the sequel and post about it as well.
