Brick Mansions
In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house only the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city. For undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) every day is a battle against corruption. For Lino (David Belle), every day is a fight to live an honest life. Their paths never should have crossed, but when drug kingpin, Tremaine (RZA) kidnaps Lino’s girlfriend, Damien reluctantly accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city. With stylized action featuring thrilling Parkour stunts (David Belle is the co-founder of this physical training discipline), Brick Mansions puts an entertaining twist on the action genre.

Almost no one in this film is allowed to play to their strengths.

High on stuntwork and low on logic ...

Dystopia's supposed to be worse than what's in the papers, fellas. Try to keep up.
Kyle Smith, New York Post, 04.24.2014 -
A D-grade action flick with nothing to recommend it beyond a cacophony of mind-numbingly generic action sequences ...
