Review of Brick Mansions (2014) by Keith B — 11 Jan 2017

Okay, first things first, this is essentially a re-make of the film District B-13, which also starred one of the leads from this (David Belle) who is paired with Paul Walker here in a race against time to stop a bomb inside a criminally controlled, walled in portion of a major city. I wouldn't have been so annoyed by this turn of events, except that the sequel to the original film played with the same ideas, and now it's simply been reworked into an English language version.

I guess I'm just saying while it's watchable and filled with great stunts, you have to wonder what sort of personal hell that the Belle guy is trapped in to have to remake the same film over and over for his entire career?

Rental!
