BANLIEUE 13 (Pierre Morel)

The story is about a place named Borough 13 (District 13), a Parisian slum, a place overrun with violence and drugs. And because of the overflowing havoc and violence, the authorities decided to abandoned the place leaving the residents without proper education, security and proper utilities. A resident named Leito (David Belle) wants some change, so he waged an one-man war against a big drug lord named Taha (Bibi Naceri), with revenge in mind, Taha kidnapped Leito's sister, Lola (Dany Verissimo). With the help of an tough undercover cop named Damien (Cyril Raffaelli), Leito will try to rescue her sister and bring back the peace and order to his hometown, Borough 13.
What i love in this movie is the use of "parkour" (recreational activity of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body -Wikepedia). Its entertaining and amazing to watch actors like David and Cyril swings from one place to another with grace and precision. The movie is action-packed thats why it's not boring.
Banlieue 13 is really an entertaining movie but there are this some superhuman inconsistencies in the story ( i dont want to spoil because that scene is where something would happen =P). But despite its story inconsistencies the movie is a really fun to watch.
