What are critics saying?

Village Voice by

Works only when at full sprint.

New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein

It’s campier than its predecessor, but its gung ho union of black, white, and Asian gangs against reactionaries who’d destroy them is a virtuosic assertion of punky Parisian multiculturalism.

Time Out by Keith Uhlich

Somewhat underwhelming sequel.

The New York Times by Manohla Dargis

It’s pleasurable nonsense and another reminder that one of the great pulls of cinema is the spectacle of other bodies in blissful motion.

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

More of the same, only more. Yet here, “more” means a more needlessly convoluted plot, a more cartoonish parade of ethnic stereotypes, and more leaden political metaphor than viewers can digest.

Boxoffice Magazine by Wade Major

Though it fails to live up to its dynamic predecessor in almost every way, District B13: Ultimatum should still be enough to satisfy the earlier film’s small but faithful core of American fans.
