The dialog was just too damned hard to decipher. People don't speal like that in real life. I netflixed it because of the underground raves but found it to be a paycheck for child stars left behind.

I agree with you. One of my friends raved about this and I was very disappointed.
It helps if you understand what they are saying - edta 16:30:59 08/12/07 (3)
The dialog is important. So you have to "work" a bit to "get it". So what? Did you ever read A Clockwork Orange? Some similarities regarding dialog. Perhaps even more than that, after all.

There are a few weaknThe Good Shepherd.

  Fortunately, Kubrick made it a frightening/entertaining movie. Plus, CWO was set in the future.
  
  The characters in Brick spoke in a vernacular peculiar only to themselves which was patterned on the clipped vernacular of ancient PI Noir. I guess in was "indie art" for that crowd.

- Huh? Much better than The Good Shepherd. - edta 16:36:12 08/12/07 (0)
  Now that was a mediocre film IMO. Not sure how that last paragraph became mangled in the above post.
