Brick - Watch clips and director interview

Compiled by Jack Foley

AFTER receiving a distraught phone call from his missing ex-girlfriend Emily (Emilie de Ravin), Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon Levitt) sets out to find her only to discover her corpse in an abandoned subway tunnel.

Keen to finger everyone responsible, Brendan enlists the help of his only true peer, Brain (Matt O’Leary), and sets about infiltrating a drug-dealing criminal group led by a non-student named The Pin (Lukas Haas), who in turn brings him into contact with rich-girl sophisticate Laura (Nora Zehetner) and all manner of violence-prone gang members.

But while it seems as through Brendan might be out of his depth, he quickly proves himself adept at keeping one step ahead of his adversaries, as well as being able to mix it up physically.

First-time director Rian Johnson’s Brick is undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable films of the year – as well as one of the most original. Having won a special prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, it looks set to continue to build on that success in the UK.
