Now, I had actually not heard about this 2023 action thriller titled "The Bricklayer" prior to getting the chance to sit down and watch it here in 2024. And I have to admit that seeing it had Aaron Eckhart on the cast list definitely was a selling point for the movie.
Writers Matt Johnson, Marc Moss, Pete Travis and Hanna Weg put together a rather enjoyable script and storyline. I was more than genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 110 minutes that the movie ran for. So I was certainly positively surprised with this movie, as I hadn't expected this level of action thriller.
The acting performances in the movie are good. I have to say that Aaron Eckhart really impressed me with this performance in "The Bricklayer", because he was good in both acting performance as well as action and fighting performance. While I wasn't really familiar with Nina Dobrev, whom starred opposite of Aaron Eckhart, then she really stood up to the task and carried the movie quite nicely with Eckhart. The movie also had Clifton Collins Jr. And Tim Blake Nelson on the cast list, so there were some familiar talents on the screen.
Visually then "The Bricklayer" was good. There is a good amount of action sequences tossed into the narrative, and they are nicely choreographed and executed on the screen.
If you enjoy action thrillers then director Renny Harlin's 2023 movie "The Bricklayer" is well-worth taking 110 minutes to sit down and watch.
My rating of "The Bricklayer" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
