Lisa Kennedy New York Times 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 …. Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Stephen Porzio joe.ie One-dimensional characters, some repetitive scenes and an increasingly muddled plot do detract from the effective on-paper allegory. Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine '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. Rated: 5/10 Aug 3, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy 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. Rated: 62/100 Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Yeny M 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/25 Full Review Stephen G. 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Headbone B 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review DJ Trev U A decent film with a straightforward, simple but interesting idea. Resolves the whole thing without dragging it out, in an enjoyable manner. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/25 Full Review A.L.Jude P Stupid yet intriguing. Could Have been a much better one if the script was made in Hollywood. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Benjamin G It’s not the most elaborate script but the premise is fun and will keep you wondering what is going on until the end. Which leaves a lot of room open for a sequel if they choose to go that path. I watched it with English dubbed and appreciated that the lead subbed his own voice, might be better if watched in its original German form.
