"I stayed barely awake while watching this. I have seen the original once (somewhere between 2006-08 I think) and only remembered some bald guy parkouring around and a bomb defusal. Now I'm writing this about two weeks later and basically remember as much of this film. The dubbing of David Belle was hilarious. "

A Complete Review of Luc Besson's work (39 movies items)

" It was actually directed by Camille Delamarre. Luc Besson wrote and produced this movie. As usual with a Luc Besson production, the damned was pretty weak and boring. I mean, there was a few good ideas and some of the action scenes using parkour were actually pretty neat.

Had I not seen that, and had it not been the exact movie in English with a few different actors, I would have absolutely adored this. It's got everything you look for in an action movie and more. Also-just a shitload of parkour. If you're an action-flick fan you should not pass this one up."

Movies Of 2017 (193 movies items)

"Worst Paul Walker movie that I've seen so far. Looked like he made this while filming Fast And Furious movies, when he had time off from the shoots. Some of the action scenes were enjoyable to watch though. At least what you can make of them, considering this movie was cutted like Taken 3.
