And off they go across Russia, the Bering Sea, Alaska, Canada, and on to New York.

| | Anonymous 10/26/2009 | | I RENTED THIS MOVIE LAST WEEKEND AND I WAS ENTERTAINED AND LOVED VIN DIESELS ROLE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF VIN DIESEL IN A BABALON VERSION OF VAMPIRES. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK |
| | Can't watch | cheapo 06/18/2009 | one of three movies my one-day-old Blue-Ray Disk player can't read yet.
I FINALLY broke down and bought my son a Magnavox NB500MGX for his 21st birthday, and Vin Diesel Baby lon protection software doesn't even exist yet for my new blue ray DVD.
Magnavox doesn't have a software fix yet, and doesn't know when (or if) they ever will get one. Cool, Blockbuster said Baby lon has caused trouble for lotsa people...I just happened to rent it on the same night I bought the player, so I thought the player was bogus.
Magnavox, said there is no way of knowing what movies won't work on your player ahead of time. Thanks Vin Diesel, you protected me from watching your movies ... saved me the time, don't think I"ll ever bother renting your movies ever again, once burned, twice shy. |

Genre: Foreign / Action / Sci-Fi
Director: Pierre Morel
Cast: Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle, Tony D'Amario, Bibi Naceri, Dany Verissimo, Francois Chattot, Nicolas Woirion, Patrick Olivier, Samir Guesmi, Jerome Gadner
Gangs rule within the wall surrounding the ghettos of Paris in 2010. But, when one gang leader, Taha (Bibi Naceri), comes into possession of a neutron bomb pointed at Paris, authorities are forced to intervene and send undercover cop Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) into the fray. Damien needs Leito (David Belle) as his guide because Leito is the only one who can get to Taha. But first, Damien must help Leito break out of prison. Leito has reasons to help, but the major one is that his sister, Lola (Dany Verissimo), is being held captive by Taha, and Leito wants to rescue her. The prison break is successful, and Leito and Damien set out to get to Taha before the missile is set off. Stunts prevail throughout this action-packed film.
