"David's training is often long, and no one really knows what goes on in his mind. But when he is ready, the action starts and it's pure grace, sporting with everything including your eyesight. In the editing room, there were scenes I had to rewatch several times in slow motion to understand how he had done it."

Luc Besson - French director (La Femme Nikita, The 5th Element, Léon: The Professional, Subway...), and the writer and producer of "Brick Mansions" and "District 13"
