brick mansions

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1430612

brick mansions is an americanized scene-for-scene reshoot of banlieue 13.  which means it is the same movie, except everybody is fatter and dumber, including the audience.  i kid, i kid.  but seriously.  save your cockleshells and just watch the original.  they have subtitles, so you do not have to spreken ze francaise to understand.  and i do recommend going to the effort of understanding the plot here.  the draw for this film is the parkour-inspired action, of course, but it is nicely wrapped up in a reasonable plotline.

brick mansions gets two banlieue 13s, while banlieue 13 gets four brick mansions.
