ReeHart – Blogging from the Heart

The Brothers Bloom is a brand new movie about the world’s best con men. This new comedy features an award winning group of actors that bring a much needed sense of fun to this type of film. The brothers decide to embark on a final ‘super con’ before they finally decide to hang up their spurs and coast in to retirement.

The world of the Brothers Bloom is never quite as it might first appear, a life lived by deceit has seen them liberate vast fortunes from their victims over many years. The time has come though for them to embark on their biggest con ever, to swindle a single Jersey heiress out of some of her fortune, and that’s where the fun begins.

The Bloom Brothers have relied on each other for all their lives, ever since they were children taken in to foster care homes, right through to the present day as wealthy conmen, everything is shared. I can’t wait to download The Brothers Bloom for free as this seems like a fun film that will get me laughing real easily – I will start my search for links very soon.

Of the two brothers, one of them, Bloom, wants to quit the industry and settle down but he agrees to take part in one last con when he develops a relationship with Penelope played by Rachel Wiesz. The two form a genuine bond though, and Bloom becomes increasingly reluctant to use his conman skills on her.

Rian Johnson both wrote and directed The Brothers Bloom, as he had done his previous two offerings Brick (2006) and Looper, a sci-fi movie set in the present day. Fans of Rachel Weisz are in for a real treat, as the luscious Ms. Weisz melts my heart as always. Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo play the Brothers Bloom, and as a pairing they work really well.

The movie is due for a limited release on May 15th, and a release to a much wider audience a couple of weeks later on the 29th. If you are a fan of the romantic comedy you will really ‘get’ this film, so it would be a shame if you let it be one of those movies that you catch up with in a year or so when it has been out on DVD for ages – it is worth catching first time round.
