For all bricklaying had to do with this movie, it could have been called the dry cleaner, or the electrician, or the high school janitor, or the bathroom attendant, or the fast food worker, or.. I think my point has been made: stupid title.
In his first shootout, he's standing up with no cover when two assassins open fire, mostly missing him but he has a wound on his stomach that looks like a bullet hole which he seals with duct tape. Then he's in a desperate hand-to-hand battle with one of the assassins who can't shoot straight, yet our hero doesn't seem to be impeded in the least by the gunshot. In the next scene, he's wearing a tight shirt with no evidence of a wound. Maybe he's a fast healer.
An elevator at a construction site falls to the ground and explodes? What is on or in an elevator that would explode? That was rhetorical because, of course, an elevator wouldn't explode but the cretins who wrote this mess just thought it was time for an explosion. You can't have too many explosions in a really terrible movie. I always say that if there is more than one explosion in a film's trailer, it's probably a terrible movie. The trailer for this bomb had four, including the magical exploding elevator.
Move forward to the fight scene in the outdoor club and things take a turn for the unbelievable. Multiple attackers, but thankfully they only come at him one at a time so he can punch and hit them with bottles. The worst part of this is that there's this epic fight going on and the other people are still dancing. It was just so silly and stupid that had I watched this in a cinema, I would have been laughing uncontrollably. Instead, I was writing about it. As he's running away from the mayhem, his female cohort pulls up and screams, "Get in!" No, I was going to check the tire pressure first. Dumbest line in the movie so far, but there's a lot more of this lousy film to go.
We need to talk about the two stars, the boy and the girl, spy vs spy. Ugh, worse chemistry than mixing bleach and ammonia.
The novelist can't be blamed for this mess (deceased), and I haven't read his book, but the two screen adaptors should be on trial...for something. I realize that horrible writing isn't a crime, but it should be.
