This is a great film.

Sorry you actually have to listen and watch a film rather than glance at action sequences in between text messages. This is a brilliant homage to the old days of detective movies. Humphrey Bogart films. The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, and other Sam Spade type of noir thrillers. Just by looking at some of these threads I can see the main complaint is boring/confusing. And that makes me very sad and fearful of the film industry's future. This movie should be making money, not garbage like Safe House.

Brick is a smart and unique take on the noir thriller. If you don't even know what "noir" means, then Act of Valor comes out on Friday. Maybe that will entertain you.

Films are my only friends.

To the OP: I also loved the movie but your post would be a little more credible without the unwarranted, snobby, elitist insults.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

Gordon Levitt has done a lot of great work..Brick has always been my favorite, though... and great supporting characters Brain, Tug..and especially Lucas Haas as The Pin.
