The Bricklayer

ActionThriller

Someone is blackmailing the CIA by assassinating foreign journalists and making it look like the agency is responsible. As the world begins to unite against the U.S., the CIA must lure its most brilliant – and rebellious – operative out of retirement, forcing him to confront his checkered past while unraveling an international conspiracy.

    To counteract The Accountant, The Beekeeper and The Bricklayer, there needs to be a film called The Killbastard about a guy who puts up really good shelves.

    First movie of the year was The Beekeeper. Last is The Bricklayer. Consistency.

    New Projector Short! Aaron Eckhart is The Bricklayer (out now in the US, Sky Cinema UK in February) making the bad guys absolutely brick it, the latest from Renny Harlin, but I find it's construction a bit on the shoddy side.

    In theaters? Rise of Skywalker. So bad it put me to sleep. Streaming? There was an Aaron Eckhart movie, I think it's called The Bricklayer, that my wife and I turned off after 20 minutes.

    I'm watching the movie "The Bricklayer." A European actor was dubbed by American voice actor. I'm reminded of Toshiro Mifune in the classic movie "Grand Prix." His accent was too strong and was dubbed over. He was embarrassed by that. He needn't have been. He was stellar.

    Wow. So we just watched the movie The Bricklayer, and it was sooooooo baddddd 🤣🤣🤣 The tagline said "The Grey Man meets the Beekeeper," and I am sorry, no, The Beekeeper was ten times better written than this piece of shit, and The Grey Man was thirty times better 🤣🤣🤣 Save yourself. Stay away. 🤣🤣🤣

    Alright, y'all: I need a third movie in the specific vein of The Beekeeper and The Bricklayer, about a former spy/assassin/covert op who retired into a specific hobby and gets drawn back in. Any suggestions? And not just plain retired... they're now doing something specific that becomes integral.

    Weird. Last night I had a dream where I interacted with a "station chief." (Look it up) Tonight I am watching a movie called "The Bricklayer" and we've just been introduced to the character of the Greek station chief. Coincidence? I think not.

    I accidentally watched The Bricklayer with Aaron Eckhart because I thought it was this film. My major criticism of The Bricklayer is a major shortage of bricklaying or bricklaying fights and references.

    Ehn, it was passable entertainment. Unlike that shit movie The Bricklayer or whatever it was called. Paid good money to decent actors to make a 2 hour walk and talk b.s. procedural with occasionally poorly shot action. Gag. 😆

    I've been thinking about my favorite movie,and I think I've settled on "The Nightmares of the Bricklayer," and I was wondering what everyone's favorite quote from the movie is? Mine is "I never thought the bricks would lay me, but I guess the Nightmares of a Bricklayer can be full of surprises."

    That's a great catch! And possible questions: How does he see The Bricklayer compared to his classic '90s action films? What was it like working with Gabriel Basso, or the then up-and-coming cast of The Covenant? What kind of experience it was to film Deep Water compared to filming DBS?

    Basic but serviceable action flick with the usual cast of cliched US "good guys" vs your standard fare villains.This films not going to set the world on fire but its not dreadful, either. Pacing is decent and acting is okay. In summary, if you like the occasional simple, exposition driven action flick, this is worth a look.
