Written and produced by Luc Besson, Brick Mansions is imbibed with a new poignancy as it is one of Paul Walker’s last, so we can expect a huge rush on the box office to see it whatever happens. It’s an action film with incredible one-liners and unbelievable displays of high-level physical performances, particularly from David Belle. Read the film’s synopsis below and scroll down for the trailer.
‘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 will hit UK cinemas on the 2nd May.
