Brick Mansions

Undercover and never Outgunned


Brick Mansions
This film is set in a walled off city in a bleak and run-down part of Detroit, which is now home to dangerous criminals. An undercover cop finds himself teamed up with a fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city, organised by the inhabitants of the walled city. Expect plenty of action and a threadbare plot. This is director Besson's remake of his previous French film. It was Walker's last film.

99 minutes.

Tomatometer quote iconChoppily edited and largely bereft of plot, Brick Mansions wastes a likable cast on a pointless remake of the far more entertaining District B13.
