About this movie

Captain Sam Cahill (Maguire) is embarking on his fourth tour of duty, leaving behind his beloved wife (Portman) and two daughters.

Despite a dark history, Sam's charismatic younger brother Tommy (Gyllenhaal) steps in to fill the family void.

Ratings and reviews

Brothers starts out as if it is another film, which adds flavor to it. Then, it goes into drama, then a scary war situation, then full blown chaos.... And Tobey Macguire brings that chaos like crazy. His performance is a tour de force and he should be in more films then he is in because of Brothers. This film is an emotional powerhouse that froze me in shock and awe. 4 but maybe more like 4 and a half. It could do a little more but it's a good wonder for sure.

Very good movie ..get sad at end tho ..but godless family's N friends and one other thang GODblESS america
