A Decade of Movies #8

Brick
Directed by Rian Johnson
Released April 7, 2006

Good: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emilie de Ravin (LOST), genre mash-up (see below).

Bad: Sometimes the old school hardboiled detective dialogue seems a bit over the top.

Thoughts: Brick is a very interesting mash-up of hardboiled detective/noir films and high school teen movies. It's not the greatest thing ever, and seems a bit awkward at times, but it is good and I appreciate it's originality.

Drinking Game Ideas: Sip scotch on the rocks throughout.

Fun Fact: In the United States Brick opened in 2 theaters. That's right, 2.
