In this sequel to 2004's "District 13," vigilante justice-keepers Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) and Leito (David Belle) are back in the outer-Paris ghetto of District 13 in order to save the impoverished, violence-riddled community. Controlled by five ruthless gang bosses jostling for ultimate power, District 13 is in dangerous decline. To save those living within, Damien and Leito must restore peace before the city's secret law enforcers take measures into their own hands.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

District 13 bites off more than it can chew with its political subtext and questionable script, but the many action sequences are never less than entertaining.

This sequel to the French actioner District B13 (2004) offers more of what made the original such a sublimely stupid pleasure. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 08/22/2023
3/4
Though District 13: Ultimatum isn’t as easy a recommendation as its predecessor, the two movies will make a strong double feature. Go to Full Review
Jason Best Movie Talk 11/24/2020
The first film showcased the awesome kinetic thrills of parkour or free running and the new movie's trick-free stunts and fights - performed by returning stars David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli - are even more jaw-dropping. Go to Full Review
Annalee Newitz io9.com 05/23/2018
This is a movie that never takes itself too seriously, except when it comes to action. Which is to say, it delivers on what it promises and keeps you entertained the entire time. Go to Full Review

Don't take it seriously, nothing make sense. See more 05/10/2021 Not as original as the original (District B13 from 2004), this sequel offers a lot of the same action scenes, fights, and parkour as the original. But the story is a bit less interesting. See more 11/26/2020 It may not as good as the first film but the second district 13 movie offers a lot of cheesy action and fun. The movie boosts a lot of incredible stunts but the plot is a bit ridiculous and the dialogue is cheesy for the most part. Come for the action and stunts not the plot.
