Saw “District B13” last night. It’s a French movie starring one of those free runner guys. Which was pretty cool, and a lot less gimmicky than say the movies starring twin body builders, or anything starring Steven Segal. The action was well done although the pacing was a little goofy. But, the thing I enjoyed the most was the politics injected into the proceedings. Even though it’s sci-fi they really addressed many of the issues involved in the current Paris riots. And after they had their big climactic fight scene ending, they had an even better political ending. Don’t get me wrong, the writing in this movie had every cliche in the book. It was like they distilled every cop show from the 70’s and 80’s into one movie. But the politics were still there, and anytime I start thinking in an action movie that can’t be a bad thing.
