It's solidly unsurprising (and often quite boring) generic fare, spiced up with steroidal pectorals and fetishy catfights.

Too much muscle-headed action, too little parkour (Belle is getting on a bit) - this property is condemned.

The Raid 2 got most of its kicks in situ; this deploys a lot of edit-suite trickery to generate only moderate dynamism.

Unfortunately, Belle's amazing athletic agility cannot alone sustain this undercooked remake of the only slightly more interesting 2004 French film District B13.

Speak as you find, it's a superfun romp, solidly made.

This is ultimately a movie about class warfare and social oppression that isn't remotely science-fictional. It's real, and as dumb as this remake is, it sends you home thinking.

It won't engage your brain, but is wild enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

Prioritizes the action, clearly unwilling to be bothered with constructing adequate character development or even a brief history on its subjects.

May 11, 2015The action sequences are well plotted but the plot is stupid, the acting horrible and sad to See Paul Walker's legacy end on a sour note. Just mindlessly violent set in the future of prison like Detroit, which has been executed in better films. 05-09-2015Christopher O Super Reviewer

Jan 15, 2015Choppily edited and clumsily directed, this unnecessary remake of the awesome film "District B13" is more depressing than it is entertaining. Being one of Paul Walker's final films, I feel bad that he chose to do this, because he is capable of so much better. This film feels like a mix of parkour and the worst parts of "Fast and Furious," but done even worse. Farfetched action can be fun, but when they are just originary people, you really just do not buy into it, and sadly, that is how I felt throughout almost this entire fim. There is nothing dreaful about this film, but there is not one aspect I would consider even mildly enjoyable, so for that, it is a really bad movie. "Brick Mansions" boasts a talent cast that has nothing to do, a cliched premise that hardly pays homage to it's original, and editing that must have been thrown together in a weekend. Some of the fight scenes seem so wquick that they must have been edited down in the final product and it shows perfusely. In the end, I am extremely disappointed, because I am a huge fan of the orinigal film.KJ P Super Reviewer

Nov 15, 2014Okay...but it could've been so much better. This film is really interesting and fun to watch for a while, but after the thrill starts to wear off, you start to question the story, and realize that this film is pretty dumb. The plot makes no sense, the progression makes even less, and the ending is terrible. The fact that this was Paul Walker's final film makes me feel terrible....Stephen S Super Reviewer

Oct 29, 2014An American remake of the French action film District B13, Brick Mansions attempts to fix what isn't broken. Luc Besson reworks his script so that now it's set in a futuristic Detroit where an undercover cop must infiltrate an autonomous, crime ridden section of the city ruled by a gangster that has acquired a WMD. Most of the changes, such as making the sister character an ex-girlfriend and turning Tremaine into an antihero, actually weaken the film. Still, most of the same action beats and stunts are carried over, and bring a lot of excitement and fun to the chase and fight sequences. Additionally, David Belle returns to reprise his role as Leo, and is joined by a strong cast that includes Paul Walker and RZA. Still, Brick Mansions feels pretty generic and isn't able to recapture the same energy of the original.Dann M Super Reviewer
