MCT:May 14, 2008Full of twists and turns, this film is a great debut for Rian Johnson. Each of the characters are motivated by something - love, grief, greed... - yet it is the main character whose motivation is confused but is the most driven. Probably has to be seen more than once to make sense, but each time is a pleasure!

MCT:May 11, 2008A very deep film.This movie really spoke to me. The story is amazing, the acting is superb, and the directing is nothing short of awesome. Not many people have heard of this, but I assure you that you will not be dissapointed. Truly a must see for anyone that really appreciates filmmaking and movies in general.

I wanted to see Brick when I first saw the trailer but I forgot about it for some reason. I'm glad that I finally got to see it though because it's a really good movie.
It's what probably put over Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a good serious actor before The Lookout. His performance in this is very under-rated. He does a fantastic job carrying this movie and he should've been considered for a nomination. He was ignored for Brick and the Lookout though when he was great in both. I also liked Matt O'Leary (Frailty) as basically his Watson who helps him with the case.
Brick plays like a Detective story but without the Detective. Instead a teen (Joseph Gorden-Levitt) is investiagting the murder of the girl he loved (Emilie De Raven of Lost). Which eventually gets him involved with some bad people. But he doesn't care since being involved with them might lead him to her killer.
The movie is a gripping masterpiece and it's hard to keep your eyes off of it. It's even darkly funny at times when you least expect it. I didn't exepct much from the movie and I was surprisd at how much I liked it. It was certainly one of the best from that year. -

An interesting if a bit melodramatic teen-noir with plenty of style. The plot isn't too confusing and the young actors are, for the most part, excellent, but it isn't on the level of some other recent noirs such as Hollywoodland or Lucky Number Slevin.

The detective story of the new century. Just like old detective sories but with a young attitude. Dont miss this one, but really dont miss a second while you are watching it because youll be lost.
I just does not give 5 stars although it was very original because teens movies need to improve something: the teens, oh God i know they could done better.

It takes a little bit of time to get going, but once it does, it's extremely intriguing and suspenseful. Definitely worth watching.
