Okay this has really intrigued me. It’s dark, broody and quite noir-esque, yet it’s all juxtaposed against the battles in school and images like “I’m going to stir things up…” and he pulls someones straw from their mouth, knots it, and puts it back in. It looks as though it promises much darkness and some twisted humour. The critics are certainly up for it too, amongst the cool trailers there are some good names and good quotes.
Have a look at it over at Movies Online, and yes, this one did work for me. It starts loading instantly.
“Brick”, while taking its cues and its verbal style from the novels of Dashiell Hammett, also honors the rich cinematic tradition of the hard-boiled noir mystery, here wittily and bracingly immersed in fresh territory…
I would suggest not reading the blurb provided, it’s not that sexy, and gives away a couple of small explanations that might be more suited to actual viewing. Check the trailer and say what you think in the comments.
