Trailer, Clip for High-Flying 'District 13: Ultimatum'

I don't expect Shakespeare when I look at the trailer and new clip for District 13: Ultimatum, the sequel to the 2004 District 13. That film was the first pairing of Taken director Pierre Morel and writer-producer Luc Besson, in those roles, anyway. This one is again written by Besson but directed by Patrick Alessandrin. The action in Ultimatum is the star, and more specifically, we're talking about the parkour. It's more familiarly known as free running, although I think there are some cosmetic differences between them, but I'm certainly no expert. However, you won't mistake parkour for ballroom dancing, and it's front and center here. This stuff is pretty cool to watch. Would hate to be their knees, however. Oh, and there's probably a story here, too, but I wasn't paying attention to that. So that's the trailer. And you can see it as part of the Magnet Six Shooter series on February 5th, or as the site suggests, check it out on VOD now. I didn't see it in my VOD selections this month, but maybe you'll have better luck. In the meantime, this clip shows us a little bit more about the pacing and the energy, crucial for a movie with this kind of action. Our European readers will probably think this is all old hat, since District 13 (or Banlieue 13 as it's known there) has been around for months on the continent, even on DVD and Blu-ray. But we're a little slow with the imports in the US, as I'm sure you know.

The first one was good, and it makes for a different action film if only because of the way it makes for an entirely new sort of chase sequence.
