The moment one of the bad guys was shooting a helmet that was thrown at the floor, well I simply knew that it wasn't going to be a good movie. Aaron Eckhart is no action hero for sure but points for effort and also for Nina Dobrev. Weak storytelling, unrealistic fight scenes and wtf were those dreadful sound effects? Overall this is a forgettable movie that I wouldn't recommend.

Impressively bad movie all around. Bad acting, unoriginal predicable plot, terrible action choreography and shoddy sound effects. The score is particularly bad, Some of the worst cheesiest danger music I’ve ver heard.

Very weak storyline, unrealistic fight scenes with awful sound effects, tried so very very hard to be interesting but is just long, mundane and uninteresting. The female lead is literally and figuratively a total passenger throughout the entire movie. borrows from other spy type movies but in a really amateur and cheesy way. (promoting the main car as if it is a 007 car....[at least 007 did this with humour and irony]) the brick layer tools and trope was just very random and a bit lazy. plenty of other movies worthy of your time, kind of fed up of wading through effluence to find a gem and have started rewatch movies I know are good.

This movie is interesting, not the good kind either. It has some good moments, but those moments are unable to course correct many of the cringe inducing elements of this movie. The core idea that this former CIA operative is more content setting bricks, and for the most outlandish of reasons, is just awful. It feels like an AI wrote much of this screenplay during the writers strike. I can't in good conscious recommend this movie.

The Bricklayer - ❤x5 This is a perfectly average Spy/Action movie. In other words, if you decide to watch it, you will most likely never want to watch it again. How I rate: 1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too 9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!
