Plots(1)
Revenge and justice are never the same. They never were and they never will be. In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house only the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime riddled streets of this deadly area, the police constructed a colossal containment wall to protect the rest of the city. For undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) every day is a battle against corruption. For ex-convict Lino (David Belle), every hour is a fight to live an honest life. The paths of these two men should never have crossed, but when drug kingpin Tremaine (RZA) kidnaps Lino's girlfriend, Damien and Lino reluctantly band together in the hunt for this sociopathic drug lord. What they uncover is a sinister plot that will not only devastate brick mansions - but it will bring down the entire city. (Roadshow Entertainment)

It gets tangled up, it gets tangled, until it eventually unravels into something that could be expected. But it's mostly a good ride, mainly thanks to David Belle, who is a seriously agile guy. Paul Walker is enough for him, and the same goes for RZA, who has already built an image of tough, cool guys.

Incredibly dull. What’s even stranger is that Luc Besson is remaking his 10-year-old product "Made in France". It is exactly the same, only the supporting roles have been switched and the action is slightly more dynamic and more eye candy dubstep. It couldn't be any different, considering that American audiences are a bit different from the French. The editing is cool, the sound is also good, and it has an incredible drive, but it’s better not to think about it at all – and thankfully, the relatively short running-time helps with htat. Occasionally self-parodic, sometimes a nice straightforward flush, but for my taste, it is lacking blood – probably due to accessibility, which I see as a fatal flaw. Paul Walker is likeable and bid a somewhat dignified farewell.
