Movie Reviews of Brick
Movie Review: Very good detective movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really impressed by this film. I rented it and now am planning to buy it. I am a fan of old detective movies and found this movie to follow the serial perfectly. It is set in a High School, which is a refreshing change from the other attempts to make modern film noirs, all of which take place in seedy places or at night. This film instead relies on dialogue to progress the story and create the mood. I think that if you like dark comedy you will appreciate the irony and suttle humour in the film. If you like mystery or just a clever movie you will like this film as well. Hope you buy it and happy viewing!Movie Review: A Cinematic Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Closely following the literary works of Dashiell Hammet, Brick is a mystery not unlike The Maltese Falcon, but there's a twist. This story of drugs, scandal and murder takes place in a High School in Southern California. The writing and superb adaptation drops you into the story just like the novella the movie is based on. At times, the poetic dialogue makes you forget that these are just kids and the subtle reminders of this fact add to the clever comedic moments.
Brick is an amazing movie. Definately the best written movie I have ever seen. I couldn't recommend it more strongly.
Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think you'll be hard pressed not to enjoy this movie. Smart, cool and entertaining - I watched it twice in a row, it impressed me so much. Everything's here: the lady in distress (Emily), the ambiguously dangerous dame (Laura), and the menacing kingpin (uhm, Pin). In true detective-movie fashion, Brendan (the lead character) gets knocked unconscious at least 5 times. The witty dialogue and believable performances actually made me have to keep reminding myself that these characters were high school students and not cynical thirty-somethings. A true modern classic.Movie Review: BRICK will be in every year-end list!
Summary: 5 Stars
Remember how many top-ten lists Mysterious Skin (also starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt) made last year-end? This will happen again, with BRICK. This is frequently compared with Donnie Darko, not in content but in the cult-following it garnered even tho it didn't make huge box-office waves. In fact, Brick stayed in the top ten in the UK for weeks this spring/summer. But enough PR, the film stands on its own merits, on so many levels: for its concept, script, performances, music, photography. Not to be missed.Movie Review: You've read all the reviews....
Summary: 5 Stars
So you've read the reviews and are still not sure. This is one fun movie. I liked it best on my 3rd viewing. It has a very cool and sortof sexy soundtrack that at first reminded me of the the one from Bladerunner, as it was so full of spaces....very melodic, and repeats itself in different forms thru the movie. The filming is nice if somewhat dark at times, but the Noir staging is Very nice. The plot keeps you guessing and thats all I will say about plot because it is so fun. Buy this movie and enjoy!!
