This has been out for ages, got it on dvd early this year. Like you say, it was a pretty boring acting/story/movie, but the action scenes were very good. It came across as a movie just to show off the guys who do all that "roof acrobatics" like on the bbc adverts.

Is this the one which we saw clips of on here about a year ago ? One of the guys leaps through the gap between the the door and the ceiling in one part...then out of a window... in a high rise...?
Been looking for it, is it out on DVD ?

Hi, yes watched it recently, it is running on the movie channe out here.

Acting does leave something to be desired as does the story, it would probably help to see it in its native language (French i think)

The scenes where the chap is running/climbing (urban whatever the **** it is called) are pretty superb and watching just for that alone, his sister is not bad either in a filthy slutty sort of way!

Quite like the music track acompanying the climbing stuff

some maxed up cars, scoob gets a pasting.

David Belle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great action sequences but the acting is more wooden than a rocking horse

Finally .... saw this on Saturday, we thought it was pretty good escapism. Yes the acting left a lot to be desired but then, the main man probably was a free baser or whatever first and foremost. Excellent stunts and action scenes. Out of the three films we hired, this was the best. Which I know doesn't say a lot for the other two !

X men 3 was an abomination of a movie imo (especially compared to the 1st 2)

As a movie its ok to watch but i am a fan of x-men and without Bryan Singer at the helm his mate tried to mix too many of the comic storylines into 1 movie, the characters weren't easily recognisible eg the Morlocks ( and WTF with Vinny Jones as Juggernaut honestly).
But i'm seeing the movie as a fanboy not a punter.
