Written by: Myles Warden for Hollywood Junket Everything made up of bricks isn't always rock solid. "Brick Mansions" proves that. The action film starring the late Paul Walker is a remake of the 2004 French film "District 13". In it Paul Walker plays Officer Damien Collier from Detroit. It's a few years into the future and things have got even worse for inner city Detroit. I'm talking from "I got shot" bad to "I got shot and there's no hospitals" bad. The government has decided to build walls around this area to keep people from going in and out and then to save money also decided to stop funding the basics such as hospitals, police, schools, etc. The poor area now known as Brick Mansions is basically being ran by a major drug dealer named Tremaine Alexander whose played by RZA (of the world famous Wu Tang Clan...More on that later). This guy is basically the wealthy king of a drug infested and broke down castle. His only opponent is a good (yet extremely tough) guy named Lino Dupree (David Belle) who is hell bent on stopping Tremaine and keeping drugs out of his neighborhood. This street smart and talented fighter is played by David Belle who actually starred in the original French film as well. The good part of this film like most action films is indeed... You guessed it. THE ACTION. You can tell Paul Walker put forth 110% into nailing these brilliant and jaw dropping Parkour and Brazilian jiu jitsu moves. This style of movement and fighting is new to American audiences and Paul Walker was proud to introduce us to it in the best way possible. Having one of the eight founders, creators of the Parkour movement in Belle, helped tremendously and although he was retired from action films before this you could not tell at all. The 40-year-old moved around in this movie like a 20 year old Jackie Chan. The bad part of this movie was the dialogue. Terrible and cliché dialogue ruined so many scenes for me. The dialogue was so over the top during a very pivotal part of the movie Tremaine, played by RZA (Wu-Tang Clan), emphatically states "Where I'm from cash rules everything around me." You don't have to be a huge Wu-Tang fan to get that reference from one of their most famous songs 'C.R.E.A.M." which stands for Cash Rules Everything Around Me. This quote and many others caused the entire audience to groan and chuckle during moments that were meant to be intense. The movie wasn't all bad though besides the action sequences it actually had a decent story foundation. The characters had great motives and back stories. There were even a couple good plot twists that were woven into the story seamlessly yet somehow it all just didn't add up to a great film. Also, I love a happy ending more than most but something about this ending was almost "too happy." Full review and MORE reviews at: HollywoodJunket.com

In the near future, A Detroit cop(Paul Walker) has to go in a place called Brick Mansions, where crime rules and there is a steel wall and some guards over it. The cop has retrieve a bomb from a head gangster(RZA), during that he teams with a smooth con named Lino(David Belle). How will play out in the end? Paul Walker was great in this, and this movie really honors him. Action scenes are intense, and it does not rely on shaky cam to be entertaining. I'm holding on my seat, fight scenes are awesome. David Belle is awesome also, and he and Walker have great chemistry. RZA was also great. This movie is not at all predicable.

Brick Masons is a film centered around a project complex within Detroit. As the Mayor pursues advancement of his city the mere existence of this project impedes his plans. Thus begins a wild ride that none of the players involved could have ever predicted. The film is a quality feature with a lot of intense scenes some of which may not be suitable for children and early teens. The drug related content of this film is relatively high however it is done tactfully. All and all I think Paul Walker's acting in this film is consistent to what you have come to expect from him. The film is fast paced and action packed with plenty of hand to hand combat scenes and high speed driving. A movie like this does much justice to Paul Walkers legacy as it speaks well of the roles he was known to play. The ending of the film is quite light with the major point of conflict solved in a twisted sort of way. It really is a shame that Paul Walker passed as I would have liked to see more of this content outside of the Fast and the Furious franchise. A+ all around.

Look.. After Oldboy which is the unnecessary remake of the original Korean version, what should Hollywood do? I know, lets copy and paste another kick-ass movie and hope that the people wouldn't notice!! Well guess what Hollywood, i do notice. It is from B-13. Brick Mansion, i hate to say, is one of the worst copy and paste movies out there. It is all the same as the original! Even Worse, it is worse than the original. I personally love Paul Walker and i teared up a bit in the end of the movie, BUT, i love the original Damien even more. The original Damien was kicking ass and jumping around, eventually having a very good chemistry with the Leto (the original Lino). This? this is just bland. Their chemistry wasn't convincing, the fighting sequence somewhat sucked and their relied heavily on shaky cameras. I kinda felt dizzy watching the fight scene. Lino was like Leto, in a way. Because both are the same parkour masters so yea, nothing more to say other than good job. But its probably Paul Walker's last movie. And as a fan myself, i gotta really give this movie at least a two. One thing.... The director needs to realize, life isn't all predictable. It maybe the actor's last movie. So please, don't immortalize him with a copy and paste movie. Its just sad and wrong. Just plain wrong. 2 stars for Paul walker. R.I.P Paul.

Well, this belongs to the realm of completely unnecessary remakes, since the source material also was found wanting to begin with. With that out of the way, a description can be made of the changes for this remake of 'Banlieu 13' or 'District 13': Cyril Rafaelli, who was cast in the unnecessary sequel as well, is missed here, since he was an able Parkour counterpart to Belle in the original. Walker's visible lack of martial-arts talent is made more conspicuous because of this. The'sister' is now the 'ex-girlfriend'. - There is now a lady lesbian villianness. The 'dad' angle. The not-too-evil baddies. Badly choreographed Parkour and non-Parkour action sequences. Really sad, since this was the movie's apparent USP. An older, unenthusiastic David Belle. The only person who seemed to be giving it all here is RZA, who chomps into his suave-looking bad guy role with gusto that could have been served better by its writers/makers. He did the same job in 'Protector 2', which was probably worse. Hope he gets better material in his next go-around. The CGI's bad, the writing's bad, the production design's possibly some of the worst you can get, and this ideally should've been ignored on cable as well. Feel sad for David Belle, and worse for 'Parkour'. Watch 'Banlieu 13' instead, or even the unnecessary sequel, and give this one a miss.

From what I gathered watching Brick Mansions, it's pretty much a step in step remake of the first attempt (French) at this flick by Luc Besson, Yamakasi. And... get this - it has Williams Belle (still in pretty good shape), the very same actor jumping and free running in the first movie. While the premise of the movie has been changed to Detroit (where else in the States?!) the rest is a complete repeat from the original. And while the original movie was a so-so-OK action/parkour semi original non-stop ride, second version became an American-flavored/Hollywood rendition without much originality at all. Just the same same same. I gotta give some love to this remake on account of Paul Walker's (perhaps) last role in it. The action was filmed well with all the usual tricks that Besson uses. If yo haven't seen the original French version, it's a fun action ride. If you are familiar with Yamakasi, don't waste your time and money... You won't get any pleasant surprises.
