Brothers, a worst case scenario

This DVD review is on Brothers with Tobey McGuire, and Jake Gyllenhall. This movie was decent, I was never bored even though the movie carried on without it ever really going anywhere. Lots of drama in this flick as it starts out with Tobey getting ready to ship out to Iraq or where ever just as Jake gets released from prison. This movie was quite linear and never strayed from the beaten path that movies have done before. Tobey is MIA, Jake spends time with his brothers family slowly stepping in as a new father figure. I wont say much more about it because I was still slightly off put by who was the "crazy one" but only for a few moments. And this role was not meant for Tobey, he cannot act the way he was required to, he tried but not hard enough. I would say stick with Spiderman, but you know what, he should stop doing that too. I think the only reason Tobey was in this movie is because he has a slight resemblance to Jake. Nothing new in this movie, I did like it, but could have been better, I expected more from this movie. 2 1/2 out of 4.
