Magic Marmalade 15th Oct 2024		Rated 8/10 Hardcore Parkour! This is one of those frenetic thrill rides that jumps straight into the action from the off, and rattles along to the end without letting catch your breath much. From the age when Parkour was, culturally speaking: "a thing" on everyone's lips, so naturally you get all these brain bending parkour set pieces and fights, but it also has a great premise, and fairly decent story to boot: So, a local lad defies, and goes up against the local drug lord / warlord in his district, which, along with others, have been deemed "out of control" by the authorities, and so a wall has been built up around it to keep the mayhem in, and away form "decent folks" outside... Said lad fails in his attempt (though has a decent stab at it!), and is locked away by the corrupt police when he is delivered to them by said warlord... and to make matters worse, his sister is being held captive inside by the warlord and his crew. But then... an action man / super cop is recruited to go into district 13 and retrieve and defuse a bomb that the warlord has stolen, and which will go off in a few hours, so naturally employs the help of the incarcerated local lad to guide him in, which also gives him the chance to recover his sister... Naturally, both are supremo Parkour super- bendy people, made of springs and general boing-y-ness, so that helps! This is an absolute masterclass in how to cram a complete action story into just 1 hour, 24 mins without missing beat. A super thrill ride actioner, great for a Saturday night in. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
