Brick
(2005)
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Noah Segan, Lukas Haas, Nora Zehetener
Brick is brilliantly executed film that delivers lines in a snappy, stylised manner and creates a "Maltese Falcon" style ambiance about a highschool drug kingpin and a missing brick of cocaine. One of my favorite films out of the many i've seen, i don't only love it, i own it. I've watched it an inordinate amount of times and it never ceases to get old. Each of the characters is brillinatly crafted into an even more conceptualised plot. This is the first film of the director that went on to create the Brothers Bloom, another fantastic narrative. It does seem slow, and has alot of quiet moments, but, in my opinion never drags. The ingeniuty behind crafting something so unique with such a limited budget for set and musical score speaks for itself. Put this on your "watch" list, immediately, you won't regret it.
