Brothers



Review:     3.5 Stars     Rated:     R

Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man) plays a roll that I would have never pictured him doing so well in.  At first it was hard to get past that cute and nerdy persona, but, he finds the inner beast that was needed to play an emotionally tormented  man.

Capitan Sam Cahill, a Marine,  leaves for his Afghanistan tour and  gets captured  after his chopper goes down.  His Family;  Wife and daughters, brother and father have been told that Sam has been killed.  A bit of  time passes and Sam’s older brother steps-up and fills his younger brothers place as the man of the house when…. Sam’s wife gets a call, Sam’s alive.

An emotionally driven movie with a simple storyline.  Tobey Maguire pulls off a pretty good post traumatic stress disorder roll in this movie, Brothers.  The movie is quite slow and really never speeds up, a good movie but Wait For The DVD.  I tip my hat to you Maguire, good job.
