If you’re into thrillers, you don’t mind watching a German-language film, and you’ve got a bit of time to kill—that's enough reason to give Brick a shot.
I watched Brick yesterday, and I had a fairly fun time with it. It’s entertaining, has a few plot twists, and from the very beginning, it’s compelling enough to hold your attention, sparkling your curiosity through to the end.

What I loved:
Right from the start, the setup is intriguing—one moment your characters are dealing with relationship woes, the next they’re trapped behind a mysterious, impenetrable black brick wall.
The slow build of suspense and the mystery of the wall will keep you engaged
Reviews across the board have been mixed to negative: Rotten Tomatoes sits at around 35%, and IMDb scores the film at 5.5/10
Performances:
The actors are solid—even if their names didn’t ring a bell at first, Brick stars real-life couple Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee, both of whom have impressive portfolios, including Army of the Dead, Oppenheimer and Army of Thieves
Decider
IMDb gives Brick an average rating of 5.5/10—but if I were grading it, I'd bump it up slightly and give it a solid 6. It may not be award-worthy, but it delivers enough thrills for a chill evening of entertainment.
So, should you watch it?
If you're in the mood for a German thriller with mystery and just enough suspense, you need to give Brick a try.
