Just like that Romeo + Juliet with Dicaprio and Claire Danes was Shakespearean dialogue set in the late 20th century, this weird little movie is film noir, set in the early 21st.

A strong, dense film noir with sharp fast dialogue that almost necessitates a viewing with subtitles. A decent story that falls a little short due to its long winded, winding, double-triple crossing narrative that, without subsequent viewings, would be hard for most to fully appreciate in one go. Different, but not entirely for the better.

Heard that this movie was supposed to be good and I turned it off about half an hour into it... I just can't understand the movie at all.. I found myself in no way engaging with the story or a desire to follow the charachter. Felt like the moive was written by a high school student, trying to make a smart film noir movie. Transposing classic noir onto a high school setting doesn't work... The film trying to be a smart witty noir film.

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 More

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!
