Bite the Mango is Bradford's annual film festival and this afternoon, my flatmate and I went to see District 13.
Now if you like action films you'll like this. Even if you don't like action films, you still might enjoy the ride. It's set in Paris 2010, a slight futuristic look at a slum, District 13. The two main leads were a cop and a young man from the slums who had to work together to stop a bomb and to save a girl from the drug lord. Stunts are real, if not for a few wires. Soundtrack was good. And both leads were impressive and likeable. Not bad for a French film.
People have said that the plot echoes Escape from New York (which I haven't seen) and is the French version of Ong-Bak (again I haven't seen this). It was slick and fast paced, injected with some humour, and with a lot of running from roof to roof, swinging, and martial arts.
If you have a chance to see it, don't miss this film.
