District 13 Ultimatum on DVD & Blu-ray
Hi-Octane follow up to the French Action spectacular District 13 hits cinemas tomorrow (02/10/09) with the DVD and Blu-ray release following hot on the heels of the cinema run on Oct 26th.
Fans of the original's blend of Gangster moves, free running urban stunt action and epic fight scenes will love the sequel, unusually, it's the equal of it's prequel, with fine references to classic Kung Fu and a slightly Sci Fi near future twist that blends a nice Post-Apocalypse angle with state of the art cinema.
I'm still under 30 posts (by a country mile) but the trailers easy to find on Youtube.
"LUC BESSON LOBS ANOTHER MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AT THE SCREEN… FUN AND FRENETIC."
- VARIETY
With the phenomenal success of the critically acclaimed high-octane action thriller "District 13" writer-producer Luc Besson (the Transporter trilogy; the Taxi trilogy) not only unleashed the extreme sport of Parkour or Freerunning from its underground roots by introducing it to a wider international audience, he also introduced to the screen a pair of brand new action heroes in the film's stars, Cyril Raffaelli (Live Free Or Die Hard) and David Belle (Babylon A.D.). Now, Besson, Raffaelli and Belle return to the incendiary environment of the near-future Paris suburbs in the action-thriller DISTRICT 13: ULTIMATUM, the hugely anticipated sequel to one of the most spectacular action movies of recent years.
It's 2013, three years after the events of the first movie, and it appears that despite government promises nothing has changed in District 13, the racially charged ghetto notorious for its gangs, drug dealers and killers. A consortium of corrupt cops and government officials is conspiring to cause civil unrest within D13 with a view to finding an excuse to raze the area and cash in on its redevelopment. When a local kid accidentally uncovers the plot, the district's resident idealist Leito (Belle) and elite law-enforcer Damien Tomaso (Raffaelli) are reunited in a bid to bring peace to the troubled neighbourhood and to expose the conspiracy before a proposed air-strike can destroy the area Leito calls home.
Besson and director Patrick Alessandrin (Mean Spirit; August 15th) deliver another intoxicating cocktail of jaw-dropping martial arts, breathtaking Freerunning and explosive action in a movie that incredibly manages to outdo its thrilling predecessor on every level.
DISTRICT 13: ULTIMATUM (cert. tbc) is released by Momentum Pictures and will open at selected UK cinemas on 2nd October 2009.
Available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray, courtesy of Momentum Pictures, from 26th October 2009.
Special features include: 'Making of' documentary, Production Diary and Deleted scenes.
