(For full written movie review, please visit: http://www.wljack.com/2015/01/movie-review-tracers.html)

Cam (played by Taylor Lautner) is a young bicycle messenger has gone through a series of unfortunate circumstances and owed the wrong people money.  He is trying desperately to find ways to pay off the debt.

Along the way he meets a girl and becomes besotted with Nikki and that changes his plans completely when she introduces him to a world that he didn’t know existed – the world of parkour!

He finds she and her street criminal friends and they become his new surrogate family of orphans. Using their skills in parkour, Cam has gotten involved in things which are clearly illegal. Before he realizes about it, he’s in far deeper than he expected.

Can Cam Get Out From All His Troubles?

How will parkour be used in Cam’s work?

Let’s parkour to your nearest cinema now!

Review:

The Good

Amazing parkour as the main theme.

Well-shot parkour moments supported by casts who can do the parkour themselves.

The storyline is very simple and easily digestible. It has balanced pacing.

The Bad

Poor character development make those characters forgettable.

Cheesy lines in between characters.

Stony acting can be spotted throughout the film.

Verdict:

This movie deserves a 6.0/10.0!

“A great adrenaline rush with the magnificently shot Parkour!” –WLJack

“Enjoyed the parkour scenes!.” – Fellow reviewer, Andy Lim

Highly recommended to those who love Temple Run, Minion Rush and most importantly, Parkour!

Also recommended to girls who love Taylor Lautner! (you will get a lot of Taylor Lautner’s scenes here)

If you are someone who are expecting great storyline and marvelous acting, you should go for Birdman or other movies available in the theatre. Those two elements are 404 not found in this movie!

Otherwise, you would definitely enjoy amazing parkour stunts which they have featured in the movie.

Million thanks to GSC Movies for the opportunity to attend the Premiere Screening of the movie!  #Tracers
