Good story but I really dislike Tobey Maguire.

One of those films where once again there is a huge difference between the critics' and the viewers' assessment. Which one will you choose? In the genre of war films, I'm slowly leaning towards the critic. In "Brothers" each of the characters seems overdrawn to me. No one reveals anything surprising, everyone fulfills their cliché. The story strictly follows the black and white stereotype of the situation in Afghanistan, completely disregarding being coherent. A Marine has been missing for less than a year and his family is already living 3 chapters after that? If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie - because it underscores all the clichés you're promised in a good 2 hours. On a positive note, it has become a fast paced piece of work. But I got about as excited by the production as I did watching campfire TV at night.

I could give it 9 but it's deserve 10 because of the amazing performance from the whole Cast that's so sad for real and make you understand that all are good people but they suffered somehow and that's why that had those arguments Tobey Maguire you really deserve a Oscar for this movie this was epic specially the ending scene We all have hidden Sad stories..

Even Bully Maguire had his moments huh... SERIOUSLY, Tobey and Jack both gave wonderful performances. Specially the scene where Tommy flips always gives me goosebumps....

I loved everything about this film. Without revealing anything, the ending leaves simply stunned if it captures the poetry behind. Maguire and Gyllenhaal are fantastic in their parts. Touching as few, I believe that in the face of certain emotions, director, screenplay and various technicalities fade into the background.
