Brick (2006)
Brendan Fry is a loner at his high school, someone who knows all the angles but has chosen to stay on the outside.

One thing you see a lot of in film these days are shaky and quirky camera styles, tons of plot twists and ultra violence for minor things.

This film, his first feature brought accolades like "original," "best overlooked film,"...
