I'd previously read about the parkour (free-running) in this movie so I thought it was worth a shot. The story is a maguffin as you would expect from a action-based film. 2 guys team up to save millions of lives. You know the drill, its always about how they do it that counts. The parkour delivers very well, there's plenty of slick moves that will leave you wondering just how that is possible. It reminds me in many ways of Ong Bak but swapping martial arts for free-running. My only gripe was there wasn't enough of it. Soundtrack was also refreshing due to the French influence.

+RECOMMENDED+
