The Hollywood Reporter -
The movie contributes nothing new to the genre, but disbelief is suspended willingly enough once the action gets up to speed.

The A.V. Club -
It’s a beat-for-beat remake of a movie whose plot was never meant to do anything except get characters to jump from rooftops, made by a less confident director (Camille Delamarre, one of the studio’s go-to editors) and set in a culture Besson has never been able to grasp. It’s also a silly pile-up of exaggerated action clichés—and much of the time, it’s pretty fun.

Variety -
Delamarre knows his way around an action scene and keeps the proceedings moving briskly enough, even if the picture clocks in at about 10 minutes longer than its taut, 81-minute predecessor.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
Mansions is like “Vehicle 19″ or “Takers,” dumb, noisy junk.

The Dissolve -
Whenever it features feet flying through the air, Brick Mansions is a pleasure. Asked to do anything else, it’s one stumble after another.
