Right I no there was a thread about the trailedr for this film then it died out.
It wanst made into a big film here as it wasnt seen as a mainstream film and was only concentrated in parts of London.
Well anyway I went and saw it today and all I can say was OMG what an amazing film.
Was well scripted using such abstract drug and street terms many people might have to google the meanings. Saying that, thew film does help alot by explain what the fuck half it means, this is done in such a clever way but so simply via a converstation with 2 people.
The filming was amazing useing so many different modes of film that I can be bothered to name them all

..
the plot is well layed out and you never seem to get bored or distracted form the films story. Its filled with great twists and unecpected events.
I trully enjoyed this film and urge all of you who appricate good film to see it.

Brick, the dynamic debut feature from writer/director Rian Johnson, won the Sundance Film Festival's Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision. 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. There, student Brendan Frye's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) piercing intelligence spares no one. Brendan is not afraid to back up his words with actions, and knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, and does - until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily (Emilie de Ravin of Lost), reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. Brendan's feelings for her still run deep; so much so, that he becomes consumed with finding his troubled inamorata. To find her, Brendan enlists the aid of his only true peer, The Brain (Matt O'Leary), while keeping the assistant vice principal (Richard Roundtree) only occasionally informed of what quickly becomes a dangerous investigation. Brendan's single-minded unearthing of students' secrets thrusts him headlong into the colliding social orbits of rich-girl sophisticate Laura (Nora Zehetner), intimidating Tugger (Noah Fleiss), substance-abusing Dode (Noah Segan), seductive Kara (Meagan Good), jock Brad (Brian White) and - most ominously - non-student The Pin (Lukas Haas). It is only by gaining acceptance into The Pin's closely guarded inner circle of crime and punishment that Brendan will be able to uncover hard truths about himself, Emily and the suspects that he is getting closer to.
