Tracers starring Taylor Lautner responds to this issue by molding a parkour tale within a temperate indie budget, and using a recognizable star who is game to be his own stuntman but not expected to be a sturdy dramatic force. This sometimes-nifty action movie offers a fairly happy medium for a style of action choreography that deserves more exposure, especially given the potential proved here by competent film making.
Delivering a typical plot about a New York story about Cam (Lautner), a city boy who turns to crime to pay off massive debts he has with a local parkour gang from trying to save his house before his widowed mother died, and in the process he finds a little friendship, and even some love (in Nikki, played by Marie Avgeropoulos). Director Benmayor accepts the importance of straight- faced tone to a parkour movie and aims to take these characters and situations as seriously as possible. The film is predictable but there are several great stunts and decent action for a B-movie such as this to entertain.
