Acerca de esta película

Welcome to the world of The Brothers Bloom, where deception is an art and nothing is as it seems.
For as long as they can remember, the Brothers Bloom have had only each other to depend on. From their childhood in a long series of gloomy foster homes to their high-flying lives as the world's two best con men, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo, Zodiac ) and Bloom (Oscar® winner Adrien Brody, The Pianist ) have shared everything. Stephen brilliantly concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but he's still searching for the perfect con, the one where "everyone gets what they want". Meanwhile, Bloom yearns for an "unwritten life" -- a real adventure, one not dreamed up by his older brother.
Enter bored, single, ditsy New York heiress Penelope (Oscar® winner Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardener ). As Bloom insinuates himself into her life so the brothers can play the con, a genuine romance begins between them. With an offer of a million dollars to bankroll a deal, Penelope impulsively joins Bloom, Stephen and their "associate", the sexy Japanese explosives expert named Bang Bang (Academy Award® nominee Rinko Kikuchi, Babel ), on an ocean liner to Greece. As the quartet makes its way from Athens to Prague to Mexico and on to St.Petersburg, Penelope quickly becomes addicted to the illicit thrills. But as Stephen's elaborate web of deceit pulls tighter, Bloom begins to fear his brother may have devised the most dangerous con of his life. MMVIII By Brothers Bloom, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
