Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an underrated movie that not enough people know about. It is a rare and unique find and captures the director's humble beginnings of a career. Now this guy is directing the upcoming Star Wars movie. He's come a long ways, and he deserves it.

This is a classic high school flick with edge and drama.

Brick is a film noir mystery story set in a small-town high school The story follows Brendan, a smart loner who finds his beloved ex-girlfriend Emily dead at the entrance of a tunnel on the outskirts of town. This occurs shrotly after she sends him a puzzling phone call that mention cryptic things such as "brick", "tug", and "pin". Brendan decides to throw whatever he must into finding out who killed Emily. This leads him into the darkest pits of the local underworld, including the realm of The Pin, an enigmatic young local drug lord. What makes Brick great is its faithful adherence to the noir style. Some of the dialogue has actually been borrowed from old noir films, and is integrated seemlessly into the film. The whole finished product is so hard-boiled that it might as well take place in the 30s and feature someone the likes of Humphrey Bogart himself. This is a unique picture, and I really enjoy it. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery, and as a brilliant nostalgic effort in regards to genre that has changed considerably in recent times.

Brick caught many by surprise with its engaging plot and outstanding performances by its bright, young cast. It was not as highly publicized as the other movies in 2006, which allowed it to sneak up on the majority of its audience and win them over. This sleeper hit should find its way into any true movie fans' collection.

This movie is amazingly well done. There are few movies that people leave thinking that they just saw truly unique camera work. When one does have it, it is unmistakable. The script is extremely unique. With phrases like, "Who do you eat with?" I would strongly recommend this movie.

A surprisingly unique movie with excellent dialogue that undeniably brilliant.
