Brick (2005). It's accelerated English meets seedy underworld, totally unbelievable, but no body's counting, no body cares. This neo-film noir piece is set in high school, with all the right elements transposed onto the world of geeks and stoners, thespians and socialites. With dialog taken straight from another genre and seamlessly integrated into our heroes and villains, Brick creates a world both familiar and strange, transporting the viewer into a new realm of the universe. The acting was solid with characters that never strayed. The dialog was sublime though a tad discombobulating. The story itself was wickedly smart and stylish. Directed with flair and aplomb, Brick almost creates a genre unto itself, almost.
