Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008) by Steven M — 04 Jan 2010

Nice one.

The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world. Now they've decided to take on one last job.

Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as Bloom and Stephen, the two of the most talented and charming actors of this age I know. Loved their characters.

Rinko Kikuchi, never heard of her before this movie, but she charmed me completely with her cool, mysterious, funny and unique character, Bang Bang. She is one of mine favorite characters, Stephen is second, of course. Robbie Coltrane, splendid as always. Rachel Weisz was so charming, weird, but very intelligent. I love her collection of hobbies. The fascinate thing is that Weisz actually learned how to play piano, violin, accordion, and break-dance, to juggle, do karate, play Ping-Pong, banjo, unicycle, and even skateboard for her role as Penelope.

Little bit unexpected end, but overall, nice movie.
