In what is one of the most unlikely sibling pairings since Schwarzenegger and Devito, a reformed career criminal (Josh Brolin) gets pulled back into one more job by his unrepentantly felonious twin brother (Peter Dinklage) in order to track down long-lost jewels stolen by their estranged mother in Amazon's goofy Thanksgiving-set comedy. Brolin and Dinklage - both excellent actors who are clearly cutting loose - have the expected easy-going on-screen chemistry to handle the dialogue-dense banter enjoyably, the film has many ridiculous chucklesome moments, and there is entertaining character work from a starry supporting cast, notably Brendan Fraser, M. Emmet Walsh, an uncredited Marisa Tomei and Glenn Close. Ultimately, Brothers is a lean and snappy movie, that is a daft, fun, disposable and fairly enjoyable adult comedy.
