The french version was better, but I didn't hate this one. The action wasn't that bad. 8 years 9 months ago -

Brick Mansions is a disappointing action flick set in the near-future, starring Paul Walker as cop who must go into a fenced ghetto to retrieve a neutron bomb stolen by the RZA, with the help of Parkour founder David Belle. I can't even believe I typed those words all in a row. Well, the main action of the film IS parkour, and very well done too - already overused by the time this movie came out, at least you've got its master in the film - and crashing cars into things (which is kind of icky now when you think about it). Of course, it's not an acting showcase, nor should you expect one. But the villain's final turn kind of required more than was available to the principals, and seems contrived even by this flick's standards. But then it heads into even more contrived elements in the epilogue... I don't know that District 13, the French original, is any better, but Brick Mansions is never more than simply watchable. 7 years 7 months ago
