District B13 Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
A message-based actioner that's fast, dumb fun.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I was delighted by the balletic and acrobatic stunts, some of which evoke Tarzan.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
What District B13 lacks in story development it compensates for with stunningly realistic action.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
The typically moronic plot simply gets in the way of what might have been a super-ambitious sneaker commercial.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
District B13 doesn't waste time with fake personality clashes. Both lead actors are amazingly fluid athletes, and during the many getaway and shoot-'em-up sequences, there is a minimum of special effects or wire choreography.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
The purest adrenaline rush of the summer.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Real-life events have overtaken District B13, and they give this feverish, yet oddly flat French action adventure a whiff of substance to go along with its spectacular stunts.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
District B-13 is bad sci-fi, but it succeeds as mindless action.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Who hasn't wanted to leap down a stairwell, bounce from rooftop to rooftop, do a backflip over a bad guy, give him a few chop socky blows and then take away his gun?
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
When a film is this entertaining, it doesn't have to be all that original.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Terse, taut and willing to pack on some philosophical weight, District B13 wastes no time in shouting 'Action!'
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Like its stunt work, the movie is both ridiculously hyperactive and a muscular feat of absolute confidence. I don't expect to have a more adrenalizing time at the movies this summer.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
District B13 is as slickly edited, filmed and choreographed as it is empty of compelling characters or the meaningful ideas (institutional racism, the bleak future) it professes to be about. Ultimately, it walls itself in.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Note to moviegoers: If you can still be entertained by a thriller that unabashedly borrows from others of its ilk and don't mind reading subtitles, you could do worse than District B13.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
District B13 looks great, but don't let those subtitles fool you. At heart, it's every bit as proudly dumb as its American counterparts.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A scrappy action flick that shifts into high gear immediately and never slows down, this rousing French import aspires to no higher goal than flashy entertainment. In that regard, it succeeds entirely.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Mix in a whole lot of automatic gunfire, an overblown crime plot, a heavy dose of industrial-strength techno and a dystopian view of French social policy. Stir. Enjoy.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
Gorgeously choreographed gymnastics of pain elevate District B13 over the impossible missions and last stands of the season.
Associated Press
David Germain
The action is so relentless that even hard-core martial-arts fans might need to pause for breath. And much of it is so repetitive that the film occasionally plays like a rerun of itself.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The latest attack of excess from French action impresario Luc Besson.
