THE BROTHERS BLOOM trailer

Caper comedy starring Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz & Mark Ruffalo!

If I remember rightly the trailer for Rian Johnson's caper comedy The Brothers Bloom, the follow-up to his outstanding modern day film noir Brick was released the weekend before last, at the height of the Comic Con media blitz. I remember watching it but not giving myself enough time to right about it, though I'm sure if the trailer had blown me away like I was hoping and expecting it to with the cast involved, then I would have found time to talk about it before now. The Brothers Bloom features Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as a pair of con artist brothers who take the extremely eccentric millionaire Rachel Weisz on a trip around the world, whilst at the same time trying to rob her out of money in one big last job. Great plot but sadly it looks about as cool as Johnny English rather than Ocean's Eleven, most of the gags don't work - it's way too light hearted for it's own good. Looks pretty appalling actually.

The movie opens October 24th.
