Brick

After his first encounter behind the Coffee and Pie, Brendon is seen hiding behind a bush as he follows someone.

As he gets up to walk away, you can clearly see a large red abrasion on the left side of his face that isn't in the previous or following shots.

After Brendan's confrontation with Dode in the football field, he falls on the grass and briefly passes out.

When he wakes up and hears Laura's horn, his clothing is dirty.

When he reaches the tunnel to meet with Tug, The Pin, and Dode, his clothing is clean.

When Brendan confronts Kara for the third time, she is wearing a choker with a huge flower on it.

The flower keeps moving from the side of her neck to the center of her neck between shots.

The second time that Brendan and The Brain meet at The Brain's spot.

As Brendan asks The Brain about the words that Emily spoke on the phone, two students walk behind them.

A few moments later, the exact same pair of students walk behind Brendan, going in the same direction.

When Brendan is talking to Assistant Vice Principal Trueman in his office, a reflection of the boom mic can be seen in a picture on his desk.

When Brendan is in Tug's trunk on the way to see the Pin for the first time he opens up the trunk to see where the Pin lives.

He clearly does not have his glasses on while looking out from the trunk.

Yet, in the next scene the camera's vision of the Pin is very blurry until Brendan puts his glasses back on.

This makes it impossible for him to have been able to see the numbers on the mailbox without his glasses on.

In the car park scene with Tug, the sky changes in almost every shot.

Puddles are also present.

When Pin enters his house while Tug and Brendan are talking at the kitchen table, we can see that he is wearing what appears to be white sneakers.

Later on in that scene, there is a shot from under the table and we can see he is wearing the big black orthopedic shoe he usually wears.

When Brendan is led into the Pin's office by Tuggerthere are several boys lined up on either side of the corridor right up to the door of the office.

In the next shot from within the office the door is left open, but no one can be seen in the corridor.

In the Pins' kitchen Pin's mom opens the refrigerator, where the apple juice bottle has some juice missing.

After she pours Brendon a glass, the apple juice bottle is on the bar full.

Brendan calling number on "Halloween in January" party invitation found on Kara's dressing room mirror, his Timex wrist watch reads 10.

45, while the background digital alarm reads approx.

11:53.

As Brendan is calling the phone number on the "Halloween in January" party invitation he pulled from Kara's dressing room mirror, his Timex wrist watch reads 10:45, while in the background the digital alarm clock on his nightstand reads 11:53.

When Brendan meets Dode on the football field, he falls down and his jacket gets quite muddy along the right arm and right side.

The next scene is Brendan going to the tunnel at 4:00 p.

for the meeting, and the jacket is perfectly clean.

When Pin and Brendan are talking at Pin's kitchen table, the position of the Pin's cane changes angles with each shot.

After telling Brendan that he has been included in the team by The Pin, Brendan's watch indicates that it is 12.

If so, the sun should have been almost above him and not half way up in the sky.

Brendan's hair is curly in all scenes but one near the start, where it's straight.

In sunny Southern California, love-spurned loner Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Brendan Frye) discovers his former girlfriend's dead body in a watery tunnel. In flashback, Mr.

An excellent movie from a genre film noir, if you can suspend your disbelief for a duration of the movie. The setting of the movie is some unnamed American high school in an unnamed city.

Rian Johnson's debut is my two favorite things combined, a detective story and high school characters. The story wasn't convicing at some part but it is impressive as a whole.

Director Johnson is infamous for it's incomprehensible movies. They all look the part, but there is no substance.

9.5 out of 10Damn, am I way too unprepared and inexperienced to review a film like this.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this film and I had put it off for years. I am a huge fan of Film Noir and that world and was worried about people updating or confusing the why's and why nots of the genre.

Brick is written and directed by Rian Johnson, his feature debut, and it follows a young high-schooler who is looking for the person who killed his friend.This movie blew me away.

Overall: This is a movie that relishes the slow burn each piece slowly fits into place, inching the viewer closer to its climax. The characters are excellent creations, with their actions believably influencing the plot.

'Brick (2005)' transposes film noir, along with its tropes and archetypes, onto the high-school drama, crafting a heightened detective story that's decidedly modern and youthful while also being old-fashioned and world-weary. It's a remarkable combination, actually.
