Brick Mansions – Movie Trailer
May 8th
In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house only the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city. For undercover cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) every day is a battle against corruption. For Lino (David Belle), every day is a fight to live an honest life. Their paths never should have crossed, but when drug kingpin, Tremaine (RZA) kidnaps Lino’s girlfriend, Damien reluctantly accepts the help of the fearless ex-convict, and together they must stop a sinister plot to devastate the entire city. With stylized action featuring thrilling Parkour stunts (David Belle is the co-founder of this physical training discipline), Brick Mansions puts an entertaining twist on the action genre.
Brick Mansions “Totally Preposterous”
May 8th
(“Totally Preposterous”)
“Hotshots” looks at a movie!
BRICK MANSIONS is an action movie that might be of interest only to very huge fans of Paul Walker, the star of the FAST AND FURIOUS movies who was killed in 2013 in an auto accident.
The reason is that it is probably the last movie that Walker completed before he died.
The movie takes place in 2018 in Detroit, and it is a remake of the French film, DISTRICT B13, which was written and directed by Luc Besson.
The title refers to a precinct in Detroit that is walled off and become a lawless zone inhabited entirely by hoods and criminals, and Detroit itself is called the most dangerous city in America.
Walker plays Damien Collier, and undercover policeman in the narcotics division who says, “I handle what needs to be handled,” and at the beginning of the movie we see him break up the drug operation of a notorious drug manufacturer and distributor that involves a massive shoot-out and an incredible car chase with Damien performing some unbelievable stunts.
Speaking of stunts, the movie also stars David Belle as Lino, who invented a training technique known as parkour, which, according to the notes, “uses vaulting, flipping, swinging, rolling and above all bodily momentum as a means of overcoming physical obstacles.”
The main story is about how the mayor of Detroit wants to restore the city to its former glory, and that means cleaning up Brick Mansions and getting rid of its undesirables.
Well, unfortunately, the top Bad Guy in Brick Mansions, Tremaine Alexander, had hijacked a government truck with a neutron bomb in it, and he accidentally started a timing mechanism that will cause the bomb to explode in 10 hours.
So, Damien is charged with infiltrating the dangerous district, avoid being discovered and identified by the undesirables, find the bomb, and disarm it.
No problem, right?
As his partner, Damien teams up with Lino, who knows Brick Mansions like the back of his hand and who also has a personal interest in bringing down Tremaine, as does Damien.
Unfortunately, when they start out, Lino doesn’t know who or what Damien really is, which makes for some intense fighting between themselves.
And as if that isn’t enough, Tremaine has done something with the bomb that endangers all of Detroit.
BRICK MANSIONS is ridiculous and totally preposterous.
