Brick (2005)

Drug dealers and high school and hardboiled dialogue, oh my!

Brick successfully highlights the most ridiculous and the most interesting aspects of film noir, celebrating, critiquing, and updating the oft-debated and much loved genre in the process.

A word to the wise—watch this one when you’re not overly tired. With a complicated plot and extremely jargon-filled dialogue, you’ll need to be on your toes to process it. I actually had to have the captions on the first time I watched it because I got really lost.

Sound like your kind of movie? Check it out! It’s definitely one of my favorites.
