I searched but couldnt find a particular thread on this movie. I picked it up today as a bling buy as the trailer looks really good. Any thoughts out there on it? Good, Bad or otherwise?

thoughts on the movie itself? http://forum.dvdtalk.com/movie-talk/...light=brothers

thoughts on the blu-ray? http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Brothe...y-Review/9447/

I watched it and thought it was good. I can certainly say that I have a higher opinion of Tobey Maguire's acting skills. i never saw him in anything where he didn't just seem like a whiny virginal teenager. But in this... he plays a soldier tormented by guilt for some terrible shit. He was VERY good.

Damn..i didnt a search..thanks

agreed! ive never been impressed w/ maguire as an actor, but i thought he had an amazing performance in this movie!

A buddy of mine saw it and said it was excellent.

DVD Talk posts reviews too.

Excellent movie. Well worth it just to see Tobey absolutely lose his shit. And it has Natalie

I just watched this yesterday and thought it was pretty good. I liked how they kept the pace up and the movie tight, as this really could have come in at 2.5 hours without a good director. Jake and Toby were great and I love Natalie but didn't think she was at her best here. I don't think it was so much her acting but she seemed a miscast.

I agree. I was surprised his name never came up during awards season.

I don't know this one just didn't resonate for me. I like Maguire but didn't find anything extraordinary about his performance or any of them. Just kind of a "meh" experience. The Blu-ray looked great though.
