Viewing Notes
via Netflix
An undercover cop of the near future is looking for revenge in the murder of his father by taking down the drug lords in and around Detroit and is sent into a no-go zone known as Brick Mansions after the one directly responsible for his father’s death. I have to admit I like this one just for the inventive action sequences. I’m a sucker for parkour and there is a lot of that in the film. The script isn’t exactly brainy, the ending doesn’t really work for me, and the turns they take to get to the ending that doesn’t work in the last 20 minutes or so of the film had me raising my eyebrows so hard it made my face hurt. Watch it for the action if you’re in the mood for that but don’t expect anything smart from this one.
