Watch Brick...
Wow. I had heard about it but never got around to bothering till today. One of the better Film Noir movies I've seen and that's not an easy genre to do well. The concept (a murder mystery in a high school) sounds eh but it was very well done IMHO.

I don't know why my previous post didn't go in, but yeah: this movie rocks. A "good" DVD has me sticking around to watch bonus features out of curiosity, kind of like a good book begs to be discussed. I watched every bonus feature and quite a bit of the director's comments on this one.

I think the reason I really dug this movie was I had caught The Maltese Falcon on AMC some nights ago. It's probably my favorite Bogart film and one of my favorites period. I thought Brick did a good job channeling it. Like I said, it's hard to do Noir that doesn't seem dumb or far-fetched.

I loved it.
This was one of those flicks that as soon as it was over...watched all of the special features. If you can understand that the "speak-easy" slang is part of the shtick...and it doesnt bother you....you'll really enjoy a great little indie flick.

Not a bad movie but I couldn't buy these characters being high school students and the ending was a little 'didn't see that coming' obvious.
Rated 6/10 One of the best noir films you may have never heard of is "Way of the Gun". I'd love to hear what anyone who watched that may have thought. |
