Steve Vail (Aaron Echart) with the Bricklayer book in the background
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This article includes SPOILERS for The Bricklayer.
10 The CIA Is The Agency That Was Being Extorted Radek was blackmailing the FBI In the movie adaptation of The Bricklayer, the CIA is the agency that was being extorted by Radek, but the book version of the story is based on the FBI. Since the CIA and not the FBI were being blackmailed, several things about the plot of the movie had to be changed.
8 Victor Radek's Backstory Was Changed Radek was an armored-car robber Victor Radek was given a backstory in the movie adaptation that differed from the novel. In the movie, the CIA hired Radek to take down the Russian mafia. Radek later joined the CIA so that he could protect his pregnant wife and daughter from his enemies. When the CIA asked him to take out a rival politician, Radek refused the order, which led the agency to blow his cover to the Russian gangs.
For instance, Patricio, Vail’s friend who helped him and Kate with their new identities, is not part of the novel but is included in the movie. Sten, who was working with Radek and tried to kill Vail was also not part of the novel. Other characters in the book were also not featured in the movie. This includes Don Kalcruick, Kate’s boss who hated Vail, the FBI agents who were killed by Radek, and the other members of the Pentad.
4 The Rubaco Pentad Was Omitted From The Bricklayer Movie Victor Radek was the head of the Pentad Another major change that The Bricklayer movie makes to the book is the omission of the Pentad. In the novel, the Pentad was a criminal group led by Victor Radek that was blackmailing the FBI. The group killed a Hollywood reporter who was vocal about how the FBI was a terrible agency.
