Brick / USA / 2005

Brick is an exceptionally written film — imagine the audio from a 1940s Noir lifted and reused with no deterioration — and it’s a competently shot one, even if a tad over-edited. But the visual and aural elements don’t cohere seamlessly, which makes for a somewhat disorienting experience; it’s the final shot of The Breakfast Club scored in the pulpiest pulpy dialogue—it shouldn’t meld, but the recipe makes for something you’ve not had before.
