Review of Brick Mansions (2014) by Al S — 28 Apr 2014

Fans of the original french classic will love this movie. It's solid and exhilarating escapism. An adrenaline-injected and heart-pounding action-thriller. It's a flat-out edge of your seat action-packed thrill-machine the delivers an incredible body of work involving parkour, martial arts, gun fights and chases that will make this nothing but a true guilty pleasure for a fun 90 minute running time.

A consistently enjoyable and tremendously entertaining action movie. A sizzling and explosive knockout from start to finish. Producer-Writer, Luc Besson breaths new life into his original material with Director, Camille Delamarre, they pay great tribute to the original work but paves its own way and makes it's own movie.

Paul Walker and David Belle are in their element. Belle soars to all sorts of heights with his amazing athleticism in his craft and gives a terrific performance in his role from the original movie. Walker is thrilling, he gives a charming, sharp and gritty performance that establishes himself as an action hero just fine.

Rza is fantastic.
