Brick, July 18, 2007
With a tough-talking teenage argot harkening back to the hard-boiled noir movies of the forties, and a cast of high-school-age characters with names like Dode, Tugger, and The Brain, Johnson's ingenious murder-mystery set at a Los Angeles high school is pure movie fancy. But what a clever, fascinating ruse he's devised--the plot itself is a mind twister worthy of "Kiss Me Deadly." And the acting, like the dialogue, is utterly sincere, even at its most outrageously hip. With hands jammed in his tattered coat pockets, specs dropping down the bridge of his nose, Levitt epitomizes shabby cool. Great support from Haas, Noah Fleiss, and Norah Zehetner give this "Brick" extra heft.
