Make sure to watch this thriller in its original German. Dubbed into English, it goes from mildly diverting to landing like a ton of, well …. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
It's frustrating to see such high-concept potential, some decent production design, and a couple of game leads fall victim to a mystery that unfolds with thudding obviousness. Go to Full Review

One-dimensional characters, some repetitive scenes and an increasingly muddled plot do detract from the effective on-paper allegory. Go to Full Review

3/5
Personally, I can’t help but think several endings were tossed around, and I would’ve preferred a much darker ending. But hey, to each their own, and I still enjoyed it. Go to Full Review

5/10
'Brick' starts with a gripping premise and stylish visuals, but quickly loses momentum with flat characters and a muddled script. What could’ve been a tense psychological thriller turns into a hollow survival game with wasted emotional depth. Go to Full Review

62/100
There is a fair amount of tension, and while you never quite get all the answers, it seems to introduce an intriguing mystery that could work well in sequels. The strength is in the concept. Go to Full Review

Logan D 3d A couple's relationship has been strained by a miscarriage. On the woman is to leave, they find their apartment building enclosed by a mysterious brick-like structure. I'm one of the few outliers in enjoying this film. I enjoyed the exploration of the effects of the unknown prison on the occupants of the building and the characters working together for a solution. Confinement and paranoia are explored. It has a committed cast but I do wish some of the emotions would've been strengthened. Still, I found it a worthwhile view. See more Yeny M Dec 1 It was amazing! The writer did an outstanding job. The film goes beyond telling a compelling story. The film leverages symbolism and metaphors to make us realize what we need to face in life to be free. I have watched hundreds of movies, and I have never seen such an elegant literally way to portrait reality. See more Stephen G. @patient1 Nov 16 Our opening is filled with personal tragedy for our main characters, and they desperately need something new for their relationship to thrive. As bewildering as this is, it's actually kind of exciting in a bizarre way. New characters enter the picture, and they're in the same situation, and they've been injured in their attempt at freedom. Again, we've new characters, and they seem just as lost, and the terror of what's happening is strong to set in for them all. With our now newest character, we see that all is not what it seems, and the deception and mayhem is upon them all now. This is sci-fi at its most imaginative, and it's something entirely more than meet the eye, with technology playing the biggest role. See more Headbone B Nov 3 Ich sehe mich gezwungen, Brick einer fachkundigen Prüfung zu unterziehen. Die narrative Konstruktion ist derart lückenhaft, dass man beinahe von einem deliberierten Hausfriendsbruch der Dramaturgie sprechen muss. Die Figuren bleiben flach und wenig überzeugend, Dialoge wirken absichtlich verschachtelt und künstlich – allesamt ein Affront gegen etablierte Regeln des Filmhandwerks. Visuelle Mittel wie die wiederkehrende Fliege erscheinen beliebig und tragen keinerlei Substanz. Zusammengefasst: Wer das Kino ernst nimmt, wird hier auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht. See more DJ Trev U Oct 25 A decent film with a straightforward, simple but interesting idea. Resolves the whole thing without dragging it out, in an enjoyable manner. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd Oct 23 Stupid yet intriguing. Could Have been a much better one if the script was made in Hollywood. See more Read all reviews
