Brick Mansions

Cast: Paul Walker, David Belle, RZA,Catalina Denis(Lola),Ayisha Issa(Rayza)

Director: Camille Delamarre          

Genre: Action, Crime

Time pass action drama. Barring a few good action scenes, rest of the movie is pretty much average

You may look forward to:

• To me, David Belle is the man you should watch the movie for. The many amazing enjoyable scenes this movie has to offer, all caters to David Belle. Hell of run and chase sequences, absolutely breath taking
• Paul Walker, playing the lead, in supposedly his last movie. With all due respect, he delivered pretty well to the character of the flick
• Both the ladies in the movie, Catalina Denis and Ayisha Issa, were good in their parts. Good action in one or two scenes. But i still wonder why in the first scene was Ayisha Issa with the noodles amidst all the action :P
• The bonding between Paul Walker and David Belle is pretty good, a better version of 'Jai' and 'Ali' from 'Dhoom' series. Wish they could make more movies together

What you can sleep over:

RZA was a character pretty much grey in shade. He wasn't as dreadful as projected, nor a good man per say. By the time the movie reaches its climax, i am confused, whether he is a drug lord, or a terrorist, or a responsible fellow citizen or just a businessman, or instead a cook... lol

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• The low on impact script, is what i see as the issue of the movie. They tried to depict the wrong doings and internal politics of Government but not presented well
• To add to it further, the Director could do a much better job for the rest of the scenes which which didn't require the Action Director to be involved :) , but alas he didnt do much!

  

My Rating: 2.5/5
