13th District (Banlieue 13)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852/
Good film, downloaded off Filelist last night so I imagine it is available on other torrent networks as well.
It's French so if you can't read or you're American then probably best to wait for the sub-par Hollywood remake in a few years time. For those who brave it I trust you'll not be disappointed. I read a review that describes it well; said it was like a "bastard child of Escape From New York and La Haine" (if you haven't seen La Haine shoot yourself in the face now).
To be honest it borrows more heavily from Escape than La Haine, but it is a great action movie and a good alternative to the formulaic Hollywood action films that plague the cinema atm.

Re: 13th District (Banlieue 13)
the plot sounds exactly like the sort of thing i'll deliberately try to avoid watching, but La Haine has been mentioned three times in this thread so i will

No you don't. :01:
Cheese me boyo, I thought you were a man of good taste. :(
You should all stay clear of anything which bears the seal of Luc Besson. That guy has been directing or producing utter shite since "Le grand bleu".
