I really don't know

Under discussion:

Brick  (2005)
So last night a friend of mine brought over this movie, I hadn't heard of it. Didn't read the jacket, just popped it in and sat down. I was told it's Memento meets Kids meets Limey and that sounded pretty good so I had a positive intentention. Honestly I wasn't all that impressed but I really don't know what to think. It might still be setting in. It was very much a think piece, kind of subsurface. The acting was par but the characters were a little too fictional for my liking. Infact the whole plot seemed like it should exist outside of highschool and yet it didn't bother me. You really don't know what he's doing until he's done it even with the forshadowing in the first scene. I understood why the dialogue was so thick and the fact that they are in highschool made the dialogue reasonable. I do see why this was a sundance favorite. But if your not specifically into sundance/indi films specifically, beware. I feel that the film tried to hard at confusing the viewer, because the plot needed that. I'll need to rewatch this later and update my review.
