"Brick", written and directed by Rian Johnson is a fresh cut into the wound into an underground crime ring to be shaken down to its teeth and skivvies by the protagonist Brendan, played by Joseph Gordon levitt. the film is teeters on the fences on a teen rebel movie, and a dark and disturbed 1930s gangster film about prohibition. this story that revolves around of a loner in an urn named Californian high school that is a central breeding ground for organized teen crime that gets an emergency call from his ex-girl friend, Emily played by Emilie De Ravin, which of who he has not seen for months. as he further looks into the case of the distressed phone call he finds that there is nothing he can do for her, and the best thing to do is leave her be the way she wants him to. when she turns up dead in a gutter, brendan takes it on himself to investigate and infiltrate the drug world that his ex girlfriend Emily became attached to, and solve her murder.

The most capturing aspect of this film is the dialog. The one criticism that I have about the dialog is that it might just go over most heads, and is a very dense complex transfers of suburban deeply metaphorical and puzzled slang. But it's so crazy. Though it gets dense at points, but the overall flow of the words and the delivery of the casts parts it completely makes up for it, and in turn makes for an experience all by its self. the score of the "Brick" was clever by its self and in the company of other aspects. but in the film, the use of the score is very well coordinated in tension and dynamic to boarder the lines around the plot. the score was composed by Rian Johnson's cousin Nathan Johnson with the help of the cinematic underground. the development of the crafted score was done through the use of conventional instruments like the piano, violins, etc. but the score uses an arrangement of unconventional instruments, like tack pianos, metollaphones, kitchen utensils, and a filling cabinet. all recorded on just a mac book. this is impressively not to creepy to just listen to. i would be completely fine just sitting down and listening to the score completely by it's self; it a lot like tom waits. This film has great, and shockingly tasteful cinematography. i think at any given moment if the motion of this motion picture the scenes captured at still are com positionally amazing. i strongly suggest seeing this film, but be prepared. "Brick" is a very intense film, may not be for the faint of heart individuals, but they should watch it anyway.
