gibran carrillo Jan 17 I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! I first found out about this movie back in the second grade and it fully caught my attention in eight grade ever since. I o first saw in college and ever since it’s been a movie that I really love. The vibe, the story, setting, the production value, the acting, the characters, the camera work AMAZING MOVIE!!! I’m glad I got to watch it in the big screen, it was a beautiful experience. I’m glad I got to watch it in theaters. 🎥🎥🎥 See more Juli S Jan 16 The "transplant" concept is executed superbly. Director Rian Johnson sets a 'cinema noir' piece in a high school, transposes noir archetypes (hard-boiled detective, femme fatale, corrupt official, gangster, naive girl who 'gets in over her head') to high-school standards (loner, prom queen, power-hungry principal, bully, social climber) with creativity. My only reservations are that a) the wonderfully snappy dialogue is sometimes garbled (Mr Johnson, please re-record Gordon-Levitt in studio!), and 2) drama was lessened by using a color-format rather than black-and-white.

It's original and innovative - amazing film See more Phoebe B. @phoebe08 Apr 30 This was not on my to-watch list but I can attest that film junkies will likely love this movie. Clever, compelling, and complex, Brick was an unexpected action-packed high school whodunit chalk full of well cast characters and gut wrenching plot twists. Littered with 1940s film noir slang, the language was hard to understand and I consequently missed details but it, in a way, added a unique charm to the film's intentions. Actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brendan) and Nora Zehetner (Laura) dazzled me with top-tier performances and it is no surprise that director Rian Johnson went on to direct many of my favorite mystery films. Kudos for pulling off a remarkable niche project! See more Noah H. @Noah85 Jan 26 Really AWESOME movie. Loved the action, the story, and the shots. This was a GREAT return to film noir in my opinion. See more Demitry M. @CoolerGuy Jan 17 I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been watching duds lately or something. It's not to say this movie is bad, necessarily, but its obtuse. The teenagers talk (my opinion, people are praising the dumbass way they talk) in a dumbass way where it pulls any realism from it. I do like and always will like Jo Gorden Levitt. The only time I didn't like him was in The Night Before, which is a movie that should have worked becuase of how great the cast is but honestly what a wet fart of a movie. And I watch it every 2 years to see if maybe my opinion changes but it never does. I might as well put on clown makeup and start asking people on the street if they know what the meaning of insanity is. I dunno. See more Read all reviews
