Brick (2005): Exceptional. If you love pulp, noir, and interstitial flims, you'll love this. Then again, if you don't live in Japan, you've probably already seen it. The dialog is so thick I nearly choked, but in a good way. I'll have to find the script next, and soon.
Big note of cultural dissonance: I really didn't care much for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 10 Things I Hate About You, but he was very good in this. In fact, I spent a lot of time wondering if he wouldn't have done a better job with Heath Ledger's character in that movie: another quiet, antisocial, quietly competent antihero for whom the audience cheers.
