Review of The Bricklayer

3/10
Three minutes!! Three minutes!

It only took three minutes in this movie to realize just how bad it is.

Direction: Absolutely horrible. There are four distinct scenes in the first three minutes that gives you whiplash as they come from nowhere, makes little sense and not related or pass the story along. Three of the scenes could have been removed and the story would not have changed(would have been better).

Acting/Writing? Not sure what caused it but the characters were talking in complete whole sentences with zero emotion, monotone, without in inflection in their voice. 'You are a rogue agent of the CIA and that is why I have been sent here to your hotel room in Berlin to shoot you with my handgun.' That last statement is not exaggerated.

Editing. It appears as if they grabbed some clips for the cutting floor from other failed movies and stuck them together. There are 'news clips' that look EXACTLY like they are from Starship Troopers. Why?

Aaron Eckhart is a very good actor and he was reduced to a bad parody of Kneau Reeves which is highly frustrating.

The news scene are creepy, this movie should have been a comedy.
