Brick (2005)

A teen movie playing at cinema noir?  Donnie Darko playing at detective?  What saves this film for me is that, despite the dark subject matter, it has the occasional moment that reminds you that these are, after all, kids.  This is an interesting film to watch immediately after having seen The Breakfast Club, I will say that.  Rian Johnson is a bleak director, yeesh.

Final Thought:  I'm left unsure of what to say after this film.  You use half of your attention to translate their language, and the other half to keep track of the plot, so by the end of it you're a bit tired.

Up Next:  Brotherhood Of The Wolf (2001)
