Reviews
We start proceedings with "Brendan" (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) standing over the body of a girl lying dead in a storm drain. It turns out that she is "Emily" - and was his girlfriend. He's very much on the edge of society at his school, but with the help of his way more savvy, but just as ostracised, friend "The Brain" (Matt O'Leary) he determines to infiltrate the local drug supply network and get to
Brick is a detective/noir film but to the viewer’s surprise, in a high-school setting. It is written and independently directed by Rian Johnson. At the mention of any movie revolving around high school or teenagers, all that comes to mind are the various stereotypes but this movie gives a surprise to the viewer. The story revolves around a particular, rather abrupt and frantic phone call received
With its hip lyrics and 50's styled character speak BRICK is an instant classic. It has a streak of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE in it. The eclectic arrangement of the deranged is inventive and full of texture. I own it and watch it often!
