Pain In Left Abdomen When Peeing

Brothers


Jim Sheridan, author of wonderful films like "In the name of the father, decides to do a remake of a Danish film of only four years ago. I have not had the pleasure of watching the original film (for those who want to look for it, here in Italy is known by the title "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife") but I could see this remake just yesterday.

The story of two brothers, Sam and Tommy. The first is married with two daughters and a successful military career. The second goes in and out of prison. Their life is overturned when Sam is officially declared dead during a mission in Afghanistan.

The film does not shine particularly for technical choices. All is unoriginal and not so exciting. A round of applause they deserve it but Tobey Maguire for a great test of an actor who manages to overshadow even those of Portman and Gyllenhaal and young Bailee Madison, the girl who plays beautifully tormented protagonist.

In conclusion, a nice film that deserves to be taken into account even if, with the story and the cast at his disposal, one would expect much more.
