I am a true film lover. I watch for indie stuff and I respect efforts even if they are mediocre. "Brick" is an absolutely well-made student film, and that's where it should stay. Watching this in the West End after weeks of inclusion in "London's best films at the mo" list I went and watched it. Awful. Sound is horrible. Dialogue is trite if you can actually understand it. Locations are "no budget" and ineffective. The movie is not engaging (with 15 minutes I realised this was a major mistake) and at best will make you smile. Characterisation is bad. But all that is just not the real bottom line: it's damn boring and acts as a very long joke in cinematic reference. There is nothing brilliant about unless the whole production was under-aged, which would be admirable. Total rubbish - avoid at all costs. and I am writing this comment JUST because someone here must sound the siren, amongst all these favorable reviews. Can't get it how so many thinks highly of this flick. AVOID!
After all, if you don't, they will work their way through YOUR life! I think this movie's soul is completely schizophrenic (again meant in a totally non derogatory way). On one level it is a 'state of play' on the life, angst, mores of contemporary American teens, you feel that beyond the super cool use of the language and the hyper-real highly-stylized narrative, the director has a genuine feel and deep understanding of his subject matter. The movie other 'soul' is a overwhelming, ever-pervasive, almost scene by scene referencing of 30s and 40s' movie and literature, 'noir' genre classics, particularly the works of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, without giving anything away with regard to the plot, I can tell you that toward the end of the movie a few Maltese Falconesque's twists and turns start to creep in (meant in a completely affectionate way) and I don't mean to deliberately sound like 'The Brain'. I personally fell in love with Lukas Haas' The Pin, he could very well be called 'The Method' and he steals any scene in which he appears in and for some bizarre reason made me reminisce about another cinematic baddie, Orson Wells' Harry Lime in 'The third Man', while the depiction of The Pin's home life has a somewhat Twin Peaks/Blue Velvetesque's flavour! Not in my top ten possibly, but a very spirited effort!
The mean streets don't get any nastier than the high school parking lots in this cool-crafted mystery.
