The Bricklayer

The Bricklayer (Netflix) is a 2024 action thriller film about a disillusioned and hardened CIA field agent, who has moved on in life to become a bricklayer with a penchant for classical jazz. When three international journalists have been murdered within a month, the CIA needs him again. It got mixed reviews. I liked it well enough but won't re-watch it.

    1. Those action movies do tend to have more than their fair share of violence...

  5. Oh, thank you for your film review! I saw the preview and thought it was a new series. I think it's good to watch a film like this when you have time, it doesn't always have to be a masterpiece...
    All the best, Traude

    1. Exactly. Not everything has to be Citizen Kane.
