    District B13

    A friend loaned me this while I am over in Tokyo with limited TV options. It's sort of a low budget Escape from New York/L.A. plot, in French (do NOT watch the dubbed english track).

    Can't comment on picture or sound as I watched it on a 27" Sharp tube with little speakers. Story-wise, nothing original or even that unpredictable. It had some fairly well done fighting and footchase action.

    Not a buy for most people, and not a rent for many either. But if you like action stuff like Transporter and its ilk, might be worth a look.

    I saw this movie a while back and it's high action, but leave your brain at the door and grab some popcorn. It's worth a rental IMHO, only if you just want a brain dump. PQ and SQ were satisfactory, not spectacular, as I recall.

    Peace and blessings,

      I went and bought The Scorpion King and played it last night. Yeah, it's junk, but fun junk. No story, no acting, just action and boom boom boom. Get the popcorn out and check your brain at the door.

      The Rock... this guy is just too much. He actually makes Arnold look good.
