A sequel to the excellent 2004 film District B13, we are treated to another excellent action film. A few years in the French future, ghetto's are walled off from the main population and basically left to fend for themselves. When a powerful developer makes a deal to acquire some land and a building contract in the District 13 ghetto, the political deal making exposes corruption galore. It is a not even thinly veiled commentary that the "powerful developer" is a corporation name Harriburton. Do we wonder what the French screenwriter thinks of war and political events of the last decade? In this iteration, a thief from the ghetto (Leito) and his good friend and special forces cop extraordinaire (Tomaso) team up with all the ghetto gangsters to prevent the destruction of the ghetto (and its million plus inhabitants). Great action sequences and a fun flavor.
4 stars (out of 5)
