Reviews

"It's great to see action stars cast for their moves -- their grace in motion is thrilling -- but they also have the charisma to pull off the characters."

   - Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Makes everything Hollywood has lately done in the action genre look clumsy, dull and stale. It is a short, nonstop stuntfest that, by going back to basics and placing them on the screen with simple, breathless stylishness, turns what is essentially a lowlife movie form into something one is not embarrassed to call"

   - Richard Schickel, Time

"Think of"

   - KJ Doughton, Film Threat

"Like its stunt work, the movie is both ridiculously hyperactive and a muscular feat of absolute confidence. I don't expect to have a more adrenalizing time at the movies this summer."

   - Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

"It may be subtitled, and the faces may be unfamiliar, but District B13 is the best buddy action movie around."

   - Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
