Brothers (2010)
Director Jim Sheridan
Ok first things first - IMDb people 7.2 seriously!? Its not often i disagree with there ratings but in this case i feel they are been seriously generous with their reviews! This film is dull and Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man) is seriosly terrible in the film with a completely unemotional (until the final scene when he is overally so) and unconnectable with throughout the entire run. Jake Gyllehaal (Donnie Darko, The Day After Tomorrow) and Natalie Portman (Star Wars, Black Swan) are reasonable in the film yet the only characters i could find any connection or that i cared about were the daughters of Maguire and Portman's characters, one of whoem is Bailee Madison the little girl who stole the show in Just Go With It. Maybe the reason the film fails to connect with me yet seems to have been well recieved in America, lets face it they control the film world! is that it is a very American film. I'm not saying that is a bad thing but it is harder to connect for a foreign audience as are some of our films for an American audience. 2 out of 10
