Easily one of the most awaited movies of the year is the upcoming action-comedy, Brothers. We will see Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as fraternal twins. Palm Springs fame, Max Barbakow will be directing this movie.
Brothers promises to bring a hilarious and thrilling journey to its viewers. The story is about two brothers who reunite for an illegal heist. The movie is a good blend of crime with lots of comedic moments.
With a spectacular cast, Brothers has all the makings of a must-watch. Here’s everything we know so far about the release date, plot, and cast of this new movie.
Release date of Brothers
You can expect Brothers to premiere on October 17, 2024, on Prime Video. However, viewers who want to watch the movie on the big screen and experience it in the theater, can do so. The movie will have a limited theatrical release starting a week earlier, on October 10.
This strategy is becoming increasingly popular and it will allow viewers to enjoy the thrilling action-packed comedy at home or in theaters, depending on their preference.
With a screenplay by Macon Blair and a story by Etan Cohen, Brothers is sure to make you laugh while also keeping you on the edge of your seat with its action sequences.
The plot of Brothers
The plot of the movie revolves around two fraternal twins, who are far from regular siblings. Moke (played by Brolin) is a formal criminal who is now attempting to return to a normal life, abstaining from any criminal activities. But, no heist action-comedy movie is ever complete without a character trying to do something out of the ordinary. Jady (played by Peter Dinklage) drags Moke into a high-stakes heist.
The story follows the two brothers as they embark on a road trip across the country. But, this is not a normal road trip. They have to dodge bullets, save themselves from the law, and their overbearing mother along the way. The goal? To pull off the heist of a lifetime, and hopefully to fix their scarred relationship. The brothers must confront old wounds and learn how to get along before they end up killing each other.
The movie leans more towards comedy than the serious elements like crime. It is a light-hearted story that offers a mix of physical stunts and character-driven humor. The relationship dynamic between the two brothers is a key element of the plot. Hence, the highlight of the movie is their quirky personalities and brotherly banter.
The cast of Brothers
Brothers features an impressive cast led by Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin. The two actors, who are known for their range and versatility, will be sharing the screen in leading roles for the first time.
