Synopsis

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 - a modern-day Southern California neighborhood and high school.

Reviews

"Manages to be visually arresting, packed with geeky allusions to everything from Raymond Chandler to "Blue Velvet.""

   - Scott Tobias, The Onion (A.V. Club)

"A Big Sleep with underage bozos, a Maltese Falcon where the stuff that dreams are made of rests in the lockers of a well-worn high school, BRICK is a remarkable oddity, audacious and engaging."

   - Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

"With brilliant dialogue out of the 1940s and graceful visuals that add depth to the dark comedy, Johnson debuts with a smart, self-assured feature that portrays adolescence like no other film has."

   - Jeremy Mathews, Film Threat

"BRICK is Bogart goes to high school, in other words, but that thumbnail description doesn't begin to convey the lasting pleasures of Rian Johnson's directorial debut."

   - Ty Burr, Boston Globe

"Johnson also grabs hold of a fundamental truth and seduces us with it: The schoolyard can be the noirest burg of all."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
