I was almost instantly attracted to this one because I just love films like this! This was like a combination between modern suburban life and modern war that features the current war that is going on right now so what we see in Brothers is an event that occurs and makes one storyline become two. Yeah, this is a remake of the 2004 Danish version but I think that this one could be better. Not only ... read more

" First Viewing Viewing Date: May 6th Via: Blu-ray Plot: While on tour in Afghanistan, Captain Sam Cahill’s helicopter is shot down and he is presumed dead. Back home, his screw-up brother starts to look after the family in his stead. Sam does return after being rescued from the Taliban, but with a lot of excess baggage. Rating: 7.9/10 Why Did I Watch It? For the actors. I also have an interest in cinema from 2009 because I have fond memories of that year."
