Review of Brother (1997) by Rich B — 19 May 2014
Brother (1997) - A Russian film about a young man discharged from the army and encouraged by his mother to go to his brother in St. Petersburg. Although his mother thinks his brother is a big shot, he?s actually a hit man who is perceived by his customers as getting a bit too greedy.
The two brothers end up as a team. The kid brother, Sergei Bodrov Jr., is a hard case and is well suited for this study in violence. The stop/ start scene breaks are refreshing, giving me a chance to absorb what I?ve seen before the next scene.
Subtitles are unobtrusive and it?s easy to watch the film and keep up with the dialogue. Good movie.
