The Brothers Bloom (2008) Directed by Rian Johnson.
I watched Rian Johnson's Brick (2005) earlier this year for the first time, and was blown away by the modern day film noir. Not hearing from Rian Johnson for a while, it was a breath of fresh air to learn another film of his was being released.
Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo are The Brothers Bloom, the greatest con men around. When brother Bloom (Adrien Brody) explains to his brother Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) that his con days are over and searching for a normal life, Stephen convinces Bloom for one more con against Rachael Weisz's rich and eccentric character Penelope. Whom Bloom helplessly falls in love with.
Dark, quirky and smart. The Brothers Bloom is an excellent tale of two brothers and their trials and tribulations, an instant classic.
