Narrative
Two delinquent twin brothers, one trying to make amends, embark on a dangerous journey of thievery. Faced with legal problems, shootouts, and family drama, they must reconcile their differences before their mission leads to self-destruction. The last film appearance of actor M. Emmett Walsh (Judge Farful).
For whatever reason, genuinely funny comedies have become a rarer cinematic commodity in recent years, so it’s always nice to have one that tickles the funny bone in a nice way
It’s the third effort from director Max Barbakov, a wild and terrifying tale of a dysfunctional crime family on a quest to recover hidden loot after a heist committed 30 years ago by the family’s matriarch (Jen Landon). Leading the charge are twin brothers Jady (Peter Dinklage), a career criminal recently released from prison, and Moke (Josh Brolin), a talented but reluctant thief who is now trying to go straight. The goal is to find a stash of emeralds stolen by their long-absent mother (Glenn Close), who initially looted the goods but has since been on the run, now showing up out of the blue to retrieve the gems. to myself The unlikely trio embark on an odyssey in their pursuit of the jewels as they are aggressively pursued by Officer Farful (Brendan Fraser), a crooked prison guard who arranged Jady’s early release through his father, a corrupt judge (Mr.
Walsh in his penultimate screen performance), in exchange for a sizeable delay reduction
Emmett). And along the way, the parties of this wacky caper face a number of inventively inspired comedic challenges, including new space girlfriend Jady (Marissa Tomei), Moke’s pregnant wife (Taylour Paige) and, among others, an unusually randy gorilla. It is also a cautionary tale about the fact that there is no honor among thieves, even if they are members of their own family. While some segments of the film are obviously a bit over-written and over-acted (Fraser’s in particular), most of this romp plays quite well, reminiscent of one of the Coen Brothers' films (although, admittedly, not so polished).
But if nothing else, it’s a huge step up from the filmmaker’s last outing, the positively awful Palm Springs
(2020) (my worst movie of the year), as well as a vast improvement over many of Amazon Prime’s disappointing offerings of late, made possible in large part by the performances of its stellar ensemble (especially the three leads). . "Brothers" It’s not epic filmmaking by any means, but it’s a good way to have a hearty laugh at home on a Friday night with a big bowl of popcorn, and that’s gratifying in itself. The final season of What We Do in the Shadows; is one of the biggest TV and broadcast premieres this month.
