Brick Mansions (2014) is an action-packed thriller set in a dystopian Detroit where the most dangerous neighborhoods have been sealed off by a massive wall, isolating the criminal underworld. The story follows undercover cop Damien Collier (played by Paul Walker) as he teams up with an ex-convict and parkour expert, Lino (played by David Belle), to infiltrate the notorious Brick Mansions district.
Lino, driven by the need to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend, Lola, and Damien, motivated by the quest for justice and revenge against the crime lord who killed his father, form an unlikely alliance. Together, they must take down Tremaine Alexander (played by RZA), a ruthless drug kingpin who controls Brick Mansions and threatens to destroy the city with a stolen nuclear weapon.
As Damien and Lino race against time, the film delivers high-octane action sequences, intense hand-to-hand combat, and gravity-defying parkour stunts. The movie combines raw action with themes of trust, redemption, and unity, as the duo battles corrupt officials and brutal criminals to prevent a catastrophic disaster.
Brick Mansions is a remake of the 2004 French film District B13 and showcases David Belle, the co-founder of parkour, performing stunning stunts that elevate the film's dynamic energy.
