The Brothers Bloom (2008) - I had forgotten this film existed. I watched it because it was written and directed by Rian Johnson. Let me tell you something, if you were thinking of watching this to get an idea of what he is like before he makes Episode VIII, don't. Stick to Brick, Looper, and his Breaking Bad episodes. While this movies has the hints and outlines of a great film, it most certainly is not one. Nothing actually works here. Everything has an air of smugness and a distinct trying-too-hard feeling. A disappointment. C+
