Schmelztiegel Brick Mansions, Detroit. Herrschaftsterritorium des Drogenbarons Tremaine (RZA) und Einsatzgebiet von Undercover-Cop Collier (Paul Walker) im Kampf gegen Kriminalität und Korruption. In dem von einer gewaltigen Mauer abgeschotteten Ghetto tobt die tägliche Gewalt. Doch die bekommt eine ganz neue Dimension, als Tremaine in den Besitz einer hochgefährlichen Waffe gelangt, mit der er die ganze Stadt zu vernichten droht. Die wahnsinnige Bedrohung fordert ungewöhnliche Maßnahmen: Im Kampf gegen den Drogenboss vereint sich Collier mit dem Ex-Sträfling Lino (David Belle) zu einem schlagkräftigen Team und ist auf dessen Insiderwissen angewiesen. Der hat eine ganz persönliche Mission – denn Tremaine hat Linos Freundin in seine Gewalt gebracht... (Universum Film)

An utterly pointless remake that lacks drive, a more charismatic protagonist and, most importantly, more action. The whole thing was lacking in juice and we don't see anything we haven't seen anywhere else. The third star is really only for Paul Walker. 45%

Incredibly dull. What’s even stranger is that Luc Besson is remaking his 10-year-old product "Made in France". It is exactly the same, only the supporting roles have been switched and the action is slightly more dynamic and more eye candy dubstep. It couldn't be any different, considering that American audiences are a bit different from the French. The editing is cool, the sound is also good, and it has an incredible drive, but it’s better not to think about it at all – and thankfully, the relatively short running-time helps with htat. Occasionally self-parodic, sometimes a nice straightforward flush, but for my taste, it is lacking blood – probably due to accessibility, which I see as a fatal flaw. Paul Walker is likeable and bid a somewhat dignified farewell.

It gets tangled up until it finally unravels into something fairly predictable. However, most of the time, it's quite a good ride, driven especially by David Belle, who is truly skilled and agile. Paul Walker is good enough for him, and the same goes for RZA, who has already built an image of a tough, cool guy.
