District brick

Brick Mansions (2014)

Directed by Camille Delamarre this remake of District 13 (2004) stars Paul Walker, David Belle and RZA. In the near future the projects in Detroit have been walled off and left to the control of drug lords, one cop and a vigilante have to work together to save the people there.

The structure and pacing of this film are very odd with a first act that takes up about half the film and doesn't really make sense towards the end. If you can turn off your brain then this film is watch-able but it will test you at times. What the film does have in it's favour is plenty of action sequences to fill the void left by the lack of something more cerebral.


2/5
