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.

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.

No need for CGI when you've got sweet moves, fast feet and a bottomless hoard of adrenaline.

This sequel to the French actioner District B13 (2004) offers more of what made the original such a sublimely stupid pleasure.

3/4

Though District 13: Ultimatum isn’t as easy a recommendation as its predecessor, the two movies will make a strong double feature.

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.

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.

**13º Distrito – Ultimato (Banlieue 13: Ultimatum, 2009) – 101 min** é a continuação direta do fenômeno francês que transformou o parkour em linguagem cinematográfica: **13º Distrito**. Dirigido por **Patrick Alessandrin** e produzido por **Luc Besson**, o longa tenta ampliar o universo de um dos filmes de ação mais influentes dos anos 2000, mas encontra dificuldades em repetir o impacto do original. Ainda assim, carrega consigo um subtexto social forte, que fala sobre segregação urbana, manipulação política e a transformação da miséria em oportunidade imobiliária. **Elenco e personagens:** o retorno de **David Belle** como Lino e **Cyril Raffaelli** como Capitão Damien Tomaso mantém viva a essência física da franquia. A química entre o ex-criminoso que luta pelo seu bairro e o policial que questiona o sistema continua sendo o coração da narrativa. Os dois representam lados opostos que se unem contra um inimigo maior: o próprio Estado corrompido. **Nota:** 4

It's very unpleasant to see evil side fight and win against the good side, especially when the scenario is trying to picture the evil as good

French actions mixed with x-game death defining hopping all around are pretty fun, need some Kung Fu & plot master coaching to achieve the next level. Don't take it seriously, nothing make sense.

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.

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.
