Brick (2005) - ickleReview (cinema)

High school film noir.

Nugget: super-stylish homage to a genre re-enlivened by the shift in setting.

Please go to FilmExposed for the full review.

I should add that since seeing this film I've realized that my criticisms of the ending are a little ignorant and unfounded. It's a convention of the film noir genre to recount the plot, explaining what you've just seen, so to complain about this is unjustified. My bad.
