| Rating | R for some violence, language and drug material. |
| Summary | Two years have passed since elite police officer Damien Tomasso (Cyril Raffaelli) teamed up with reformed vigilante Leito (parkour originator David Belle) to save the notorious District 13, a racially charged ghetto populated by violent drug dealing gangs and vicious killers. Despite government promises to maintain order, the state of the district has deteriorated, and a group of corrupt cops and elected officials are conspiring to cause civil unrest in D13, looking for an excuse to raze the area and cash in on its redevelopment. Now Damian and Leito must join forces again, and use their mastery of martial arts and their unique physical skills to bring peace to the neighborhood by any means necessary… before a proposed nuclear air-strike wipes it off the map. With bone crunching fights and death defying leaps, this adrenaline charged sequel takes the groundbreaking parkour action from DISTRICT B13 to thrilling new heights.
District 13: Ultimatum is the fourth film in Magnet Releasing’s “Six Shooter Film Series V2,” a series of six films focusing specifically on action cinema, featuring some of the most exciting action films available today from around the globe. District 13: Ultimatum will be preceded by RED CLIFF, ONG BAK 2: THE BEGINNING and BRONSON, with two other films to follow over the coming months including THE WARLORDS. --© Magnolia |

 A safe but serviceable sequel.

 The film’s real problem is building momentum from its action set-pieces. Belle’s agility and Raffaelli’s fleet footwork are fine, but the parade of rent-a-thugs toppling like ninepins isn’t very exciting.

The real kick of the material is had when the characters are forced to fly their way out of tight situations, or reduce a team of aggressors to a heaving pile of wounded groans.

Light on its feet, but heavy in its brain.

The stunt work is good, the script feeble.

A competent if flabby rehash of the first film's race-against-time plot and dystopian setting.

When you’ve stopped chortling at the sheer impertinence of it, this sequel emerges as a pretty conventional re-run of the original, boasting impressive stunt fights waged by characters so thin they’d blow away in a light breeze.

The dialogue and storyline are both a little on the clunky side, but the action excels.

A Parisian conspiracy thriller of frankly preposterous dimensions.
