Brick

Skived off work early this afternoon and went to the Rialto to see Brick http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/brick?q=brick, as it's in its last days. Man. What an amazingly good film. If you're a fan of 40's film noir, detective thrillers, murder mysteries or California youth culture see this. Great acting, great story, great filming, satisfying ending. The only imperfection I spotted was it's filmed on video instead of 35mm, hence grainy on the big screen. But that's being really picky.

5 stars out of 5 *****

Will be watching for that writer/director again.

Just for your info, and for others who may have seen this movie and enjoyed it - the director is making a second film! The film follows two foster brothers who grow up to become con men, and set out to rip off a loopy but tenacious millionaire, played by Weiz! I will be looking out for that one!
