Brick Mansions (2014)

OK... Some movies are believable, some movies are hard to believe but possible.... This movie didn't make an attempt to be be either. The acting was so so and all the gymnastics made the movie unbearable; the first fight scene set the tone for the movie. The first 15 minutes felt like an hour and you know you're watching a failed movie when it tries to impress you with unrealistic fight sequences. But to top it all off.... You have a sociopathic, murderous drug dealer who has a change of life at the very end..... OMG.Do not waste your time unless you're watching it for free.....and then try to stomach it.

Though this movie has its share of action and bad guys vs. good guys fist fights and gunshots, I have to admit I watched it for the sake of the late actor Paul Walker.Too bad an action hero whose "Fast and Furious" franchise is known about as well as other fare (*spoiler* let's say Rachael Leigh Cook's character of Laney Boggs gave him an ear injury in "She's all That"... hem ?) left us so fast, but letting us appreciate at least another try in an action film shot in my hometown of Montreal (passing for Detroit).For the rest, I heard it's a remake of a French movie, but had its share of violence all over. But not as bad, rather entertaining at least. Enjoy rather than taking it too seriously. After all, just wondering how improbable you can survive all the physical pursuits in there and avoiding the gunshots...For the rest, this is mostly Luc Besson's fare...RIP Paul Walker, thanks for the memories of a 2000s action hero !

If you make a movie about cops, bad guys and a heavy weapon. Make it fun and extreme or else its gonna be one boring cliché thing. Too bad this movie is full of clichés and not logical scenes. Beside of this,there is bad acting, bad fight scenes and a bad script. At the end every bad thing gets worse and worse. Just at the moment you think it could not get any worse. The big bad guy turns in to the next Ghandi out of a sudden. And the crew at the end with him. And why not trying to be the next mayor, just a couple of days after you shoot someone. This movie is one big mess. I think it has to be done quickly. It is a big waste of time and could watch a better movie.

Fast Paced Parkour and a Sleek Style are the Attraction in this Remake with Luc Besson's Team of Entertaining Filmmakers. Paul Walker's Last Film is a Fun Romp Full of Fantastic Acrobatics and a Neat Production Design.The Overall Enjoyment of this No-Brainer is Almost Ruined by RZA. He Cannot Enunciate and it is Truly Painful to Listen to Him Speak His Lines. It is Embarrassing and Along with His Non-Acting Presence it is a Modern Miracle that He Still Gets Roles Despite His Irritating Speaking Voice that has the Unpleasant Result in Making the Ears Bleed and the Mind Numb.But there is So Much to Enjoy, Including the Amazing David Belle, in this Non-Stop Chase it Can be Forgiven it's Completely Silly Ending and its PG-13 Rating. It is a Treat to Watch Despite RZA and the Final Scenes.
