In a dystopian Detroit, grand houses that once housed the wealthy are now homes of the city's most-dangerous criminals. Surrounding the area is a giant wall to keep the rest of Detroit safe. For undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker), every day is a battle against corruption as he struggles to bring his father's killer, Tremaine (RZA), to justice. Meanwhile, Damien and an ex-con named Lino (David Belle) work together to save the city from a plot to destroy it.

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.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

It's solidly unsurprising (and often quite boring) generic fare, spiced up with steroidal pectorals and fetishy catfights.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

Too much muscle-headed action, too little parkour (Belle is getting on a bit) - this property is condemned.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

The Raid 2 got most of its kicks in situ; this deploys a lot of edit-suite trickery to generate only moderate dynamism.

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.

It won't engage your brain, but is wild enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

Gone With The Twins

Prioritizes the action, clearly unwilling to be bothered with constructing adequate character development or even a brief history on its subjects.

Rated: 3/10

10 years later I still standby my statement that is is probably Paul Walker worst film and sad to say it had to be his last film........

Rock on! 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

action is good, Paul Walker does what he has to do and David Belle is back in action as Lino, but the movie never gets up to par with the original Banlieu 13. So you truly wanna see the best then go see the 2 orginals

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Movie is below average, but is still really fun for fans of walker. Good parkour and OK chemistry between leads provides enough to be satisfied. Walker has a hilarious scene with a giant guy and some good driving scenes. All in all, not as bad as people say. Rip Paul. 6.0/10
