Directed by Rian Johnson (Brick), this is a story of two brothers that when left on their own at a young age concocted many a shrew plan to make a buck.

Fast forward – boys are now men and still screwing people over to make a buck. Like any con-men combo, one is smarter and more sly and the other somewhat of a pawn. Mark Ruffalo plays older brother Stephen, the fiery and sarcastic brother whereas Adrien Brody plays Bloom. Bloom falls in love all too easily and is a tender hearted follower. Going for one last big scam before they call it quits, the brothers organize an elaborate heist with the target being eccentric Penelope (Rachel Weisz), an estranged woman who lives in a castle in New Jersey. Bloom crushes on the peculiar dame who spends her days playing the harp and building pin-hole cameras out of watermelons. A series of silly events lead the Brothers and Penelope all over the world, setting off bombs in buildings, getting horny on trains and drunk on boats. Along for the ride is Asian mute Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi), who at one point sniffs Blooms bits and with a smirk reveals to the audience that he was just fingering Penelope. Weird, whimsical and action packed – Brothers Bloom is a cutesy con film that will entertain in a light and playful way. JM
