Brick Film Review

After writing a film review for L.A. Confidential which is a film noir, I decided to write one for Brick a neo-noir. I have used some of the same concepts and wording. All of this is in preperation for writting my own film review for Hard Cash.
From start to dramatic finish, the plot of Brick is constantly thickening and always changing. First time director Rian Johnson sets a hard-boiled thriller in the drappled light of a southern california high school. Bricks concept should not work; unconvincing teenagers, investigating crimes and dealing drugs, acting like adults but somehow Rian Johnson has made it believable and really suitable for the audience. Brick isn't just a great movie; its an amazing deconstruction of the neo-noir genre. Brick is a neo-nior this is a modern version of film noir, and is often in colour.  Neo-niors contain fim noir features. Brick is a 2005 American neo-nior film written and directed by Rian Johnson. The title regers to a block of herion compressed roughly to the size and shape of a brick.
The characters twist and turn in the wind so much that you are not sure who to trust. Well except main character Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Brendan chases down the clues to find out who killed his ex girlfriend. Although he appears weak and timid he will stop at nothing to find the truth.
The lonely teenager Brendan finds his former girlfriend Emily in the entrance of a sewage tunnel and recalls her phone call two days ago, when she she said to him that she was in trouble. Brendan, who still loved Emilt, met bad elements of his high-school trying to contact her, and when he succeeded she told him that she was ok. He then starts to investigate hermurder, investigating the meaning and concepts of two words; Brick and Pin. Using the support of his nerd friend Brain, he succesfully meets the small drug dealer Laura (Nora Zehetner) and Tugger (Noah Fleiss), to reach the teenage powerful drug dealer The Pin (Lukas Hoas).
Slowly Brendan unravels the motives of why Emily was killed and plots a revenge.
