District 13: Ultimatum (2009) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on Amazon Prime. The storyline picks up where the last film left off with Damien and Leito initially going their separate ways. Damien goes back to working undercover and Leito tries to start a life outside the quarantine zone with Damien's sister. However, when the government plans drastic measures for the quarantine zone as the gangs inside have become unruly. Damien and Leito will need to get back together and go back into the quarantine zone to save the day.
This movie is directed by Patrick Alessandrin (White Fang: At the Edge of the World) and stars Cyril Raffaelli (Live Free or Die Hard), David Belle (Brick Mansions), David Belle (Guilty) and Elodie Yung (G. I. Joe: Retaliation).
This movie does a great job bringing back the original cast. The storyline isn't as interesting as the first film and seems to drag at times. I will say Elodie Yung was a tremendous addition to the cast and absolutely gorgeous. The action scenes aren't as interesting or impactful as the first film. There is a fight versus the police that is good, and the entire ending is entertaining and worthwhile...it just felt like it took too long to get there.
Overall, this is an entertaining addition to the action genre, it's just not anywhere near as good as the first film. I would score this a 6-6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
