Set in a run-down Detroit City, where crime is rife, the local authorities have built a containment wall around derelict brick mansions which are being used by ruthless criminals including gang leader Tremaine (RZA). Police officer Damien Collier (Paul Walker) goes undercover to infiltrate Tremaine's gang and put a stop to his plan to destroy the city. Damien also has a personal vendetta against the crime boss, who murdered his father, as does former convict Lino (David Belle), whose girlfriend has been kidnapped by Tremaine. Damien and Lino form an unlikely partnership as they attempt to seek vengeance while preventing the destruction of the city. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

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.

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.
