Brick Rian Johnson 2006 US[/color][/size] 1st time; 2 sittings[/color] Sometimes, retrospectively, I can't fathom what made me pass a film by in its theatrical run. I can't agree with either of Capo's main points of criticism; I really enjoyed the sometimes nearly indecipherable slang dialogue, and I felt as though the intended emotional target was hit head on. Add in some of the best camera work of 2006 (No freehand!), the minimalist score Omar mentioned in his 2nd review, and great dead-pan, spot on noir performances from the entire principal cast, and you've got one teen film (if you can even really categorize it as such) that I can like without a tinge of guilt.
