Banlieue 13 - How we would love to build a wall around france

I read a review that said this wasn't a Luc Besson film and that he tends to tag his name to a lot of movies nowdays to give them some clout. What a dick. I mean this is no 'From the Producers of Alien' or 'From the Director of The Matrix second cousin'. Nope People, he wrote this hence the Besson attachment and the Besson influence.

Of course this tells you what to expect in terms of script and style, and so you know what's in the box is what's on the box. Yep. Groovy fights, tight editing, colourful characters and crazy stuntage. This time using the age old setting of a prison state. Nice work!

Banlieue 13 Ultimatum - B13/B14/District 14????

I only found out about this today and I am genuinely excited. I loved the first and it reminded me how French cinema is about more than the Tits and Cigarettes that enticed me as an adolescent. Must dig it out to watch again. Until February then Mr Besson.
