The Review

This is one adrenaline pumping movie.

No CGI, no cable, no wires, it’s all authentic deft-defying stunts that will blow your mind away.

The stunts and fight scenes were well choreographed.

As much fun I had watching this, I was short-changed, as the film was too short.

It ended too soon for my liking.

Overall the story is believable, the entertainment value is top-notch, but I do hope there’s another spin-off.

The Good

• Excellent music selection
• The parkour action scenes will amaze you!

The Bad

• It can be bothersome to read the subtitles and keep up with the movie at times. The French do speak very fast.
