October 28, 2009"The Brothers Bloom", the second effort by writer/director Rian Johnson, didn't irritate me quite as much as his 2005 effort, "Brick", but that's not to say that Johnson has reigned back on the self-satisfying quirks. His latest is rightfully (and wrongfully) compared to the less...( read more)

October 15, 2009What a great movie, you'll want to watch it again right after it's over. A wickedly sharp and dazzelingly original comic fantasy thats loaded with lots of twist, tricks and great characters. An outragiously funny and flat-out enjoyable movie. It be a crime to miss it. A brilliant...( read more)

November 20, 2009I don't really know what went wrong here. This movie features amazing actors and the trailers led me to believe the movie would be good. There were quite a few sweet and funny scenes(particularly Penelope's "hobby scene"), but it just didn't live up to my expectations.

November 16, 2009Great cast. Great scenery. Not so great movie! I will say this....the first ten minutes were fun(Mark is still a cutie pie). After that it was a continuous slide onto the dung pile of movies.

November 16, 2009Great cast with a very annoying story. I could say more, but I know that is really all I have to say.

The leads have zero comedic skills, but you can tell they're being funny because they all wear sarcastic hats. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
A globetrotting heist film that starts off terrifically and then progressively deflates. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
A con game about con games, the second film from writer-director Rian Johnson is breezily enjoyable for about 10 minutes, until you realize the entire movie is going to be pitched at the same exuberan... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This movie is lively at times, it's lovely to look at, and the actors are persuasive in very difficult material. But around and around it goes, and where it stops, nobody by that point much cares. full review

The "perfect" con job is the premise for this near-perfect con movie with a revelatory performance from Rachel Weisz. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Ruffalo has some of the sharpest lines, and Brody's soulfulness is ideal for the role of a disillusioned introvert. With her enthusiasm, warmth and intelligence, Weisz is an inspired choice to play Pe... full review
