What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

2/5
It's solidly unsurprising (and often quite boring) generic fare, spiced up with steroidal pectorals and fetishy catfights. Go to Full Review David Hughes Empire Magazine 05/02/2014

Too much muscle-headed action, too little parkour (Belle is getting on a bit) - this property is condemned. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 05/01/2014
The Raid 2 got most of its kicks in situ; this deploys a lot of edit-suite trickery to generate only moderate dynamism. Go to Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin 01/22/2022
The late Paul Walker's given nothing to do in Brick Mansions other than to marvel at David Belle's amazing acrobatics and stare down bad guy RZA. This isn't much of a surprise considering this is a very lazy remake. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021

It won't engage your brain, but is wild enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 12/04/2020

Prioritizes the action, clearly unwilling to be bothered with constructing adequate character development or even a brief history on its subjects. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alex B @AlexBioni 3d Sometimes You Just Need a Rocket Did buddy really try eating celery with a fork and knife?! The only reason I watched Brick Mansions was because it is one of Paul Walker's final films, and it feels exactly like something you would find in Walmart's $5 bin. I also had no idea it was a remake of a French film until writing this review. The movie wastes no time explaining the story before throwing you into the action. The parkour is entertaining, even if the quick cut editing and frequent slow motion become repetitive. Paul Walker is easily the standout, and I liked his chemistry with Lino, although I could never tell if Lino's voice was dubbed, which was distracting. There are plenty of logical issues, and at one point Paul Walker crashes through a ceiling making a superhero landing. It is ridiculous, but kind of fits the movie's over the top style. In the end, it is an easy way to pass 90 minutes, but not much about it stuck with me outside of the touching Paul Walker tribute.

See more I Am F @Creepblaster 04/08/2025 The script was weak as water, and some character arcs felt forced. Sometimes David Belle gives a good line delivery and Paul Walker does some flawless parkour tricks and sometimes RZA delivered some fun. However, the plot is just messy.

Action genre fans: non-stop top-notch action with a simple (unrealistic) storyline but that's all you'd want from an action movie, and the action includes lots of martial arts, plus a twist and surprisingly meaningful ending!
