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.

The acting is fantastic in this film. I felt very moved by the story. I hope those suffering through ptsd can find their peace even if things don't make sense at first. No one is ever really alone in their struggles.
