Brick - Johnson, 2005

Brick is the hard-boiled detective story retold at a California High School. And it mostly works, much as Clueless (7) worked in retelling Jane Austen. Hard to say if it is noir parody or noir hommage, but either way, it is stylistic and enjoyable.

Makes me interested in seeing The Brothers Bloom. A 7 rating.
