Excellent performance by Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. It's a must watch for those who love a good dramatic movie with substance and passion.
Although it is an anti war film the essence of the entire movie is centered on the relationships of a family from the effects of war. Maguire gives a frightfully disturbing portrayal of a patriotic and steadfast American soldier while Gyllenhaal is that lovable-detestable scumbag of a brother and Portman is the woman who is the caught in the space in between.
This is the kind of movie where too much revelation can spoil the entirety, so stay away from the trailer as well.
This movie is based on a Danish movie Brodre by Susanne Bier in 2004.
7/10
