 |  | This is a very interesting and engaging film |  |
Brick is a great homage to the noirs of the 40s, but with a modern high school setting. Gordon-Levitt is a brilliant actor, and the rest of the cast is spot on too. The script and camera work are awesome; but the characters and style drive this movie the most. The dialogue is interesting because it has sort of a 40s feel to it. The movie has a bunch of cool twists that I didn't see coming. A few scenes are very funny, but mostly its a pretty intense drama. Definitely worth seeing for anyone open-minded
June 26, 2008 | | Pretentious Film School Stuff | |
You're expected to believe that a bunch of high school students are capable of running an elaborate drug dealing cartel, all the while never appearing to ever go to class. The plot is muddled and the dialogue is slow and dull. It takes a long time to begin to make sense, trying the patience of any viewer. Adults don't seem to exist in this world. And the exposition at the end by the two main characters is so complicated and absurd that it exposes how weak the script is by having them recite and explain to the viewer what just took place over 90 minutes.
June 7, 2008This movie is beyond good. I can not bring myself to spoil anything about it, so just see this movie.
May 5, 2008I must say that when I saw this, and probably still to this day, Brick was one of the most outstanding films I had seen in years. The storyline, character development and music are just some of the finer points. If youre into noirish outside of the box stories, then definitly check it out.
April 19, 2008Being past the age of the intended audience of this film, I have to say it's great. I think it didn't get enough attention (especially for Joseph Gordon Levitt), and less critical praise than it deserved. It's an intriguing murder mystery with false turns, and an ending that, while you were kind of expecting it, was beautifully done. The film is appropriately sparse given that the main character is a teenage boy, and shot wonderfully. Worth a view.
