Review of Brick

Brick (2005)
6/10
Great work of twists
6 August 2014
The story rolls out very slowly firstly, all trying to be artsy with all those intricate play of zooms and camera angles. At first I thought this would be just another teen movie of heartbroken love and exes and stuff. But it turns out to be quite a great investigation movie. The best thing I noticed about this movie is that it has a very good use of plot twists for a movie with such strong indie vibe on it. The twists are multiple, well placed, and should be predictable, although it would be very hard to do so. I appreciate the success done in keeping all the artsy feel by having less detail compared to other investigation or detective movies. That thing combined with the constant darker blue dominant coloration, the lonesome less people scenes, and the straight out minimalistic sets helped holding out all the artsy feeling. I really liked how Joseph Gordon Levitt acted here. This may be one of his defining works to get into the bigger budget productions.
