Tyler Treese spoke with The Bricklayer director Renny Harlin about the action thriller movie starring Aaron Eckhart and Nina Dobrev. The veteran director discussed his approach to action and not falling into tropes. The film is now available digitally and through video-on-demand platforms.
“The Bricklayer follows a rogue insurgent blackmailing the CIA by assassinating foreign journalists and making it appear the agency is responsible,” reads the movie‘s synopsis. “As other nations begin turning against the U.S., the CIA must lure Steve Vail (Eckhart) - their most brilliant and rebellious operative - out of retirement. With an elite and deadly skill set, Vail is tasked with helping clear the agency’s name, forcing him to confront his checkered past while unraveling an international conspiracy.”
