The Brothers Bloom

I didn't see any films last Monday night, opting instead for a great series of shorts by Nacho Vigalando followed by the Fantastic Fest awards ceremony. Tuesday I was back at the grind.

This movie is best summed by two choice quotes from the film:

"He writes his cons like dead Russians write novels - with dramatic arcs and vulnerable heros and shit."

"- This isn't an adventure story.
- What are you talking about? It totally is!"

I don't think the plot is as subtle as it wants to be, but it's still a good play. Definitely recommended.

The Brothers Bloom
2008, 109 minutes, directed by Rian Johnson
