Rian Johnson's 2005 crime mystery has an all-star cast of up-and-coming actors including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lukas Haas (both hardly up-and-coming), Emilie de Ravin, Matt O'Leary, and Nora Zehetner. Taking inspirations from old spaghetti westerns and "Cowboy Bebop," the visuals of this film are amazing. The plot takes cues from old crime dramas and almost has a film noir feel to it, but all set in high school.
Brick really is a film unlike very many I've seen in recent years. I definitely suggest you take a couple hours and watch it. And hey, it's streaming instant on Netflix, so no excuses!
Lukas Haas plays "The Pin," and his costume was modeled after Barnaby from Dark Shadows
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays our fierce hero and Nora Zehetner the not quite "damsel in distress"

I remember seeing this one back in 2005 and expecting it to be more over-the-top. I remember being disappointed. I don't remember the spaghetti western or cowboy bebop feel. This makes me want to watch it again and I think I will...
I feel as though the spaghetti western and cowboy bebop feel was more in the direction and cinematography. Maybe I'm wrong though, people can take so many different things from different films!
