District B13: A Movie Worth Checking out

So you're on Netflix looking for something to watch. Here's a suggestion: District B13.It is an action film and a damn good one. It's made by french director Luc Besson, which means nothing to you other than yes, there will be subtitles. It's an action flick! A lil' reading here and there doesn't matter when its the kicks and bruises that carry the storyline.
The movie is set in Paris, in one of it's most dangerous ghettos called District B13. This area is so dangerous that it is fenced, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, ever. The protagonist of this film is Leito, the righteous resident within B13 who wants the neighborhood gangs to stay away. There is also the police guy Damien Tomaso who wishes to infiltrate B13 and take down the drug-lord Taha. The two work together and you can see the rest.
It is definitely worth watching. Think Ong Bak but with white guys in a concrete jungle! I won't even give you the trailer, here's the opening chase scene.
