Brick (2025), Netflix's German mystery thriller, confines Tim and Olivia (Matthias Schweighรถfer, Ruby O. Fee) in an apartment block shrouded by an inexplicable brick barrier. Director Philip Koch delivers a taut, atmospheric setup reminiscent of escape-room horrors, but the narrative buckles under repetitive conflicts and thin neighbor dynamics. Schweighรถfer's intense portrayal anchors the chaos, though Fee's role feels underutilized. Visuals impress with shadowy tension, yet the film's philosophical undertones on isolation remain superficial. A solid binge for thriller fans, *Brick* entertains without reinventing the genre, ending on a twist that's clever but foreseeable.
