Dennis Harvey Variety This is a lively bullet-riddled adventure that may not stick in the mind, but will leave no one bored for its 110 minutes. Jan 10, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider ... A lame-ass thing that’s serious when it should be campy, and rife with brutal violence and incredible nonsense. Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine The Bricklayer may not stand out from similar action films on the market, but it offers enough entertainment for those wanting to enjoy a popcorn movie experience. Rated: 6/10 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Completely lacks a sense of fun and wallows in old tropes that should have been left in the past Rated: 1 Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Matt Glasby Radio Times Despite risible dialogue and some slapdash production elements, there's fun to be had for those in the right mood. Rated: 2/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (LAist) What elevates this a little bit is that [director Renny Harlin] still brings it. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Ignacio C Entertaining. Pretty good plot. A lot of fights. Unexpected ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review bob t Pretty entertaining and underrated in my opinion Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Madam D Not one thing good about this movie. The action is unexceptional, the plot cliché & the plot boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Thomas S Audio dialog mix stinks. Predictable plot. B movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review charlie b Another cliche action flick. POS Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Cristian s Accion y espías siempre va a ser una combinación ganadora. La dosis justa de tiros, peleas y explosiones... pero la historia francamente no me pareció la gran cosa, muchos giros pero igual resulta predecible. Disfrutable pero hasta ahí nomas. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
