It lives up to the standard review (a noir-style film set in a modern high school), and is very engaging and original. It's a bit hard to describe in more detail than that, but I can definitely recommend it. It shows what can be done with talent and a limited budget.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 04-20-2006 01:15 PM                     Film-Noir 90210 I liked it. The scene at the end on the football field is the best.

Very different, kinda David Lynchish, very interesting dialog. The Landmark theatre that I saw it it masked off about 2 feet of the image on the bottom of the screen. Be sure to pick up the Brick brochure prior to viewing the movie, it contains a glossary of dialog terms.  |  IP: Logged Alex Grueneberg Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Chicago, IL Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-29-2006 04:24 PM                        Brick is one of the better films I've had the honor of presenting in a very, very long time. After almost a dozen viewings and seeing various parts again and again the film consistently remains fresh reveals more. The acting is unbelievably solid across the board and pacing is top notch. Editing flow never stops, and camera placement is very enjoyable. It keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very end. In this day and age (at least for me), that’s very rare. It's movies like this that remind me how much I love what I do.  |  IP: Logged
