Jesus Christ this is a dumb film

It's not like I expected Shakespeare from a parkour flick, but seriously - Harriburton? Guantanamo? The continued left-wing stupidity of having a ghetto voluntarily maintained by a willing criminal parasite subculture, yet painting the GOVERNMENT and the COPS as the bad guys?

What motivates the creation of a film like this? Before we got all PC and moral relativist and stupid, the guys kicking ass would have been the good guys (you know, the cops, the people on the right side of the law) and the villains would have been bad guys (drug dealers, killers, etc). But no more. Thank goodness we're so enlightened now.

I guess when you come from a culture that refuses to recognize how its own left-wing stupidity has completely destroyed itself, this is the idiocy you get.

Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out of the theater.

As for me, now that D13:U has shown me that all violent immigrant gang leaders secretly would reform if given the chance by willingly demolishing their ways of life, my life feels more carefree.

What movie did you watch? It's obvious that there where certain people in the government that were bad (which you cannot say isn't true, not everyone whose a cop or works for the government is pure of heart). The drug dealers and killers were not the good guys in this movie they were simply the guys that did not want to be evacuated from their homes. They came together to stop the people who wanted to profit from their misfortune. That's it. The co-leader of the group comprised of drug dealers and killers was a COP who was accused of a crime he didn't commit because the real bad guys wanted to get him (the best cop on the force who really cared about people, equality, and justice (something that most COPS AND THE GOVERNMENT really care about)) out of the way so he wouldn't stop them. Everyone else was a pawn being fed lies and believing them. Which does not make them stupid, it just means they were giving their trust to the wrong people.

Next time it might help if you pay attention to the movie.

Mr.Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a Professor

I didn't see the whole film, so take what I say with a grain of salt...

...but what I did see seemed to be yet another example of the age old argument of multicultural is good, white is bad!

That has gotten a little tedious and tiresome to be perfectly honest!

And given what has been seen in Amsterdam in the past few years (Muslims, primarily Turks and Moroccans attacking gays in broad daylight, and even in gay hangouts), maybe it's time some of these minority groups were the ones getting beat down in movies by the people they continually attack in Europe!

Just saying!

I don't mind films encouraging multi-cultrual integration. But this film is blatantly racist.
WTF with depicting Chinese as having pig-tails and whispy beards. Are the film makers saying the Chinese never evolved during the last 100 years since the Ming Dynasty?

Thats aside from the garbage action scenes. Lets all line up and have fisti-cuffs with armed police.
