The Brothers Bloom

This was the only other pick for the weekend next to the mad rush for perhaps one of the biggest robotic block-buster of this Summer. It played out kinda funny, kinda weird but all in a very colourful kinda way.

Films involving cons, scams and swindles have always been playing between the fine line of the grand scheme of the con and not getting emotionally involved. That which is real versus that which is not. This film is no different but yet unique in an indie kind of way.

The movie kicks off interestingly well and does a great job keeping its audiences entertained with the colourful characters constantly injecting humour of all kinds both in the fore and background. The tempo two-thirds into the film suffers a slight slowdown but continues to steamroll till the end. One other area where this movie scores points is in its costumes.

With a cast of Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and muted Rinko Kikuchi (yet again). What could go wrong?
