Best movie of this year hands down!

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I would probably have liked this movie more when I was much younger because then I was still fit and sportive and I would associate myself more with the parkour scenes. Even though parkour didn't exist when I was young and that's too bad, because it seems like a fun thing to do, I can get that young people like to do this. You got to have skills and got to be fit and also like the adrenaline rush you get when doing dangerous things. Not that parkour is always dangerous but some scenes in the movie could mean instant death or at least serious injuries if you miscalculate a jump or roll. So to me the action scenes were pleasant to watch. There's a lot of jumping, hopping, falling and rolling but it's enjoyable to watch. The story though is a bit dull. The actors aren't that great either, they're just okay. In conclusion, if I would still be young I probably would start doing parkour after watching this movie, but I'm not so it's just okay to watch once.

I think the first time I saw a movie that had Parkour in it was the 'District B13'. After that plenty of flicks came, among them this one as well. The movie was about a struggling young bike messenger who meets a girl belong to Parkour gang. Later he joins them that changes his fate, but whether he gets the girl or not, that tells with the thrilling story development and some amazing stunts.Ever since the 'Twilight' series, I wanted Taylor Lautner to make his foot steady in his acting career. Because I was rooting his werewolves gang in that movie. His last movie I saw was three years ago, 'Abducted' that did not go well. At least this one looked much better, but not enough. Like always I hope he comes back stronger.Considering this film, the story was as old as the cinemas. A reused plot, there's nothing new. More like another version of 'Point Break', but everything was under a limit. Adding the Parkour and bike stunts to it, gives somewhat a new flavour. The young actors and fresh faces were highlights. From coming under the B movie category, it is simply a nice entertainer, but appraising from the out of that, definitely a disappointment. In the end everything is how you look it and what you get from it.6/10

Taylor Lautner may always be remembered as Jacob, the annoying werewolf boy from the Twilight Series. People have a hard time seeing him as anything else, but Tracers is the second action film I've seen him star in, and this kid has the perfect make up to be a huge action star. Lautner is more than just another good looking actor, as he can speak several languages, is a martial arts expert, and an avid parkourer, all skills he uses in his latest film, Tracers. Lautner plays Cam, a down on his luck bike messenger, who comes to befriend a group of parkour enthusiasts. What they do fascinates Cam and he wants to join them, but when he does, he realizes that they aren't just clowning around, they use their skills to commit crime, and once he's in, Cam has no way out. Original action films are hard to come by, as most people are satisfied with all the special effects and dead bodies. It's a genre that really doesn't call for originality, that's why when you come across a film like this, it's a breath of fresh air. The stunts and moves you see in this film are nothing short of magic, and it's star Taylor Lautner did them all himself. We are so used to seeing Lautner as the sensitive love interest in some romanticized film, that it's hard to even imagine him as an action star, but that changes 10 minutes into this film. It's the stunts, the attitude, his characters whole personality, that makes his a unique a-typical action star, and it is really something to see. On the surface, Tracers may be nothing more than another story about a group of burglars, but what they can do is extraordinary, and was really fun to watch. This film is original, fast paced, and brings to light a new action star, who isn't in his sixties or the WWE. It may not have all the bodies and explosions normally associated with this type of film, but as I said, It was a lot of fun to watch.

A bike messenger encounters the world of parkour and, because of problems in his personal life, becomes involved in a dangerous situation. Taylor Lautner (Cam) stars in this action film that features some kinetic chase scenes that highlight great photography. It can't be easy to track the speed of this action, but the cameras never miss a shot.There are some sparks between Cam and Nicki (Marie Avgeropoulos), but the action is what drives this film.A criticism: Although Lautner's face frequently fills the screen, Ms. Avgeropoulos deserves better framing and lighting. Her beauty is underserved. In TV's "The 100", she is the best part of the show and she gets plenty of screen time.A compliment: Few films have featured the dynamic and unforgiving scapes of New York City so well. It's the perfect backdrop to the amazing athletic sequences of this film.
