Plot 411: Two unlikely friends reunite to save District 13 . . . again.
Review: This sequel was somewhat disappointing, especially since I thoroughly enjoyed the District B13. It seemed like they were desperately tyring to infuse the movie with a plot. Rather than just an all-out brawl with shocking stunts, they tried to develop a storyline. However, the execution wasn’t handled effectively. The story dragged on and stretched out the time between set pieces. I mean, this isn’t the kind of movie that audiences go to for mental stimulation and thought-provoking themes. We’re here for the action, and I feel they should’ve just stuck to that. This movie brought back the butt-kicking duo of Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) and Leito (David Belle), and once again they are tasked with saving District 13 from the corrupt government. This time around we get a better picture of the district, which is segregated into different ethnic groups all running illegal operations. These rival gangs must unite to fight the government and save their home.
Watch It: If you enjoyed the first one and want to see something similar.
Skip It: If you saw the first one and want to see something better.
