Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008) by Thomas S — 11 Jun 2011
Very intelligent, eclectic, and dark humor movie about 2 brothers who are life-long con artists!. One brother (Adrian Brody, as Bloom) gets T-boned.
By a woman (Rachel Weisz, Penelope) driving an exotic car and ends up on the hospital. Turns out she is just as wacky and eccentric as Brody and they start a bizarre relationship that is, how can I say, macabre beyond belief, as turns out to have NO limit to her escapades, as she NEVER PLANS ANYTHING, for starters! It's a great con on a con, dark comedy. I was expecting more critical support, what can I say? They are not all correct, all the time!
If you didn't already know, you (IMHO) would swear this is a Wes Anderson Flick!
Will, I'll leave it at that, as not to ruin in for you, and add that it has a great ending and Rachel Weisz was great and of course Brody and Ruffalo were their usual excellent selves !
Let's just say, I LOVED IT, and if you like Wes Anderson movies, you should like this one!
