Brick

It does what it says on the label: This is Dashiell Hammett-style LA noir — complete with period dialogue — set in a contemporary Southern California high school.

Gritty, violent, sometimes baffling, “Brick” works better than I think anyone could expect and better than it has any right to.

Unreservedly recommended to fans of film noir, detective stories and, yes, Veronica Mars.

A truly amazing film.
