Brick Mansions

Luc Besson has been such a one-man tidal wave of recycled ideas and sequelized schlock throughout this millennium, it's amazing that it has taken him this long to remake the 2004 action film District B13. The premise is the same, although Brick Mansions moves the setting from near-future Paris to 2018 Detroit—the ghettos have been walled off from a city run by greedy developers, but a determined cop (Paul Walker, in his last completed role) and a parkour do-gooder (David Belle) team up to bring down a terrorist crime lord (RZA, quite bad). Belle is one of the real-life founders of parkour, and he plays the same role here as in District B13, but all of the stunts are a step slower this time around. Not that it matters, since the bodycentric action of the original has been largely replaced with boring car chases.
