Brick is a modern noir - color - daylight- which in some ways reminds me of Tim Hunter's River's Edge. Possibly because of the age of the characters - high school.
It's the first film by a new kid on the block, Rian Johnson. Billed as a "detective movie," it has speech patterns and an aura of the best of Bogart, Hawks and Huston.
I like it, as everything about it just works.
Best to go into this one knowing nothing, as in don't read reviews.
Can't wait to see where the filmmaker lands next.
More modern noir?
Brick arrives courtesy of Kino Lorber.
