Editorial Reviews

Ils sont 7. Ce sont les Yamakasi. Ils ont cree un nouveau sport de rue et ils essaient de conquerir la cite, plus exactement ses murs, ses toits. Agiles, legers et rapides, ils escaladent, enjambent et bondissent d'un immeuble a ne pas perpurber la vie du quartier, ils s'entrainent au petit matin. Les jeunes les adnirent et essaient de les imiter. Mais un jour, c'est l'accident: le petit Jamel tombe. Les Yamakasi decident de lui venir en aide et vont, pour la premiere fois, enfreindre la loi et risquer leur vie afin de trouver l'argent necessaire pour operer au plus vite le jeune garcon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short on the Parkour and Freerunning, March 20, 2007

I bought this movie for the freerunning and parkour--and was disappointed. The first five minutes have the best tricks. From there this turns into a campy flick more focused on plot than tricks. There's not a lot of acrobatics and even when there is the camera work doesn't allow you to see much. Might be a good movie for adolescents not interested in parkour/freerunning. Fun, campy, feel good.

I saw these guys on Ripley's and they seemed pretty cool so I ordered the DVD, and it wasn't what I expected at all. It has very few shots of them doing their stunts. The plot was borning, and it was overall very poor acting. Don't waste your money on this.

Awesome acrobatics, a great action movie with humorus undertones; the sequel is just as good! Bravo!
