Brick

Brick is the story of Brendan Fry, a high-school loner who embarks on a mission to track down his missing girlfriend, but who soon finds himself ensnared in a tangled web of deceptions. Debut feature from the prodigious Rian Johnson, Brick turns the American high-school genre on its head, injecting hard boiled dialogue and a classic film noir style. An original, absorbing mystery that will leave you spellbound. (StudioCanal UK)
