District 13
2004
Produced and co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Luc Besson, this stylized action thriller is set in Paris 2010, where the government has fenced off the city's ghettos, the most dangerous of which is District B13. Teaming up to infiltrate the lawless sector, an elite-unit cop and a reformed vigilante put their lives on the line in a gutsy attempt to retrieve a stolen nuke and thwart a terrorist attack by the city's most powerful gang.

Action, Adventure, Foreign
Foreign with subtitles. Similar premise as District 9, without the aliens and with much better characters. The plot is thin but acceptable, serving merely as a platform for a face-paced action flick. Lots of parkour and hand to hand combat.
