The catchy redux leads to a bank robbery that goes quickly awry, a maniacal, island-dwelling millionaire who\u2019s slowly turning into a snake, a volatile and crazy Russian general, witches, witch doctors, gunfire, machete-wielding wrestlers, and two antiheroes imbued with cat powers who dress up like the members of an African Kiss tribute band.<\/p>\n<p>[vimeo 8915958 600]<\/p>\n<p>The initial robbery attempt in France ends in a shootout with police, and three of the four thieves end up dead. Black (MC Jean Gab\u20191 \u2013 the villain in District 13), the only survivor, escapes with his life but without the money. He soon gets an offer for a job in Senegal involving millions of dollars in diamonds and is immediately on a plane for the dark continent.<\/p>\n<p>Black was born in Africa before moving to France, and he sees the Senegalese bankers and police as easy targets. His assumption is essentially correct except that he fails to consider that others might be after the diamonds too. And these others are crazy don\u2019t mess-with-me-dudes. His team of robbers is assembled, introduced, and dispatched fairly quickly, and once again Black is on his own.<script>;document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function () {\n    var url =
