Brick is a good movie.
For real. That Joseph Gordon-Levitt kid can act. It sure didn't seem like it back when he was on Third Rock from the Sun, but apparently that show didn't let him use his chops, because he is really good in this. Also, the whole high school-as-film-noir concept could've gotten really trite and precious, but they sell it totally straight here, and as a result it comes across pretty damn good. Also, their choice of femme fatale rocks. Check it out, we're pretty sure it opens wide-release finally this coming weekend.
