Friday night, I saw Brick. I thought it was a really well-done movie especially in regards to following the standard noir figures.
There was the protagonist who was both intelligent and tough. He could give or receive punishment yet still was able follow any clues left for him. He was haunted by a former flame and didn't know where his current female, the femme fatale, was really falling for him or just putting up an act. Other parts were effectively done by the mysterious villain and his hot-headed muscle.
Overall, go see it, you won't be disappointed.
