Quick review

The good
The thrilling mixture of grimy film noir with LA high school gloss, Gordon-Levitt’s brilliant central performance, expertly crafted dialogue with a raft of witty one-liners
The bad
An overly-complicated plot, seeing the final credits roll
Verdict
It is difficult to feel any emotion for the contrived characters, but “Brick” is a daring debut not to be missed
