A violent aesthetic film jumping between tall buildings

I just finished watching the film last night. The background of the story takes place in the so-called 2010. The French government isolates areas with high crime rates from other areas with high walls, which is called District 13.

At the beginning of the film, the camera interspersed scenes of various people waiting for activities in a certain building in District 13. Then there were scenes of chasing and jumping between tall buildings. It was very exciting, especially the scene of grabbing the rope and swinging around. It reminded me of Chinese kung fu movies such as Jackie Chan starring.

This 13th district is simply a paradise for gangsters, and even the police inside are so old that they can do nothing. But together, the two lads cleverly let the black boss be terminated by his own men. The reason was that he and the police demanded 10 million money to be transferred to his account in exchange for the bomb abandoned by the police, but they did not expect the account to be emptied by the police. . When the guys under him asked him how to pay the salary, there was indeed a black humor.

I found that there were Bruce Lee posters in the house of that group of gangsters, which was enough to show the profound influence of Bruce Lee and other Chinese kung fu on this movie.

The scene of encountering giants fighting when we were going to fetch the bomb really did not make us feel new. It has not appeared twice in Hong Kong Kung Fu movies.

The scenes of chasing, jumping, fighting, and gunfighting are omnipresent in this film, and the plot is compact, which makes people admire the new perspective of French film selection.

    Why do you say the second part was bad? After watching the first part, I regretted that I deleted the second part. . . Obviously more exciting ~~~~ Could it be that technology has progressed. . . . I think for the visual enjoyment, the second part is better! Of course, the pioneering still has to be praised, it is very fun to parkour! ! !
