Paul Walker attached himself to Brick Mansions, a remake of the French parkour thriller District: B13, all the way back in 2011. If it had hurdled into production on schedule, writer Luc Besson and commercial director Camille Delamarre's excessively-Xeroxed reinterpretation would be a distant memory, eclipsed by the rejuvenated Fast & Furious franchise. But delays and Walker's untimely death turn Brick Mansions into a cacophonous grace note to a career cut short.
A barrage of cheap effects, chaotic action, and expired jokes obliterate the charisma offered up by Walker and parkour founder David Belle. If Walker was still with us, we'd write Brick Mansions as lame action filler; With tragedy lingering, the movie just seems unfair.
