Well-acted, but slow-paced without gripping actions. The story seems not so mesmerizing.

Both Susanne Brier's Danish original and this American version are dramatic anti-war movies. I prefer the Danish version of the story even though the American setting and perspective works. Despite the excellent acting, casting, directing,…

Should have been better, but it was decent.

Really intense and well-paced storyline. When I first selected this film, I didn't realize it was a subject based on war and normally I would have just passed it up, if it weren't for Maguire, Portman, and Gyllenhaal, and fortunately this…

The main characters did a good job and they thankfully didn't take this where I was afraid they might. Tobey Maguire was a tad unbelievable as a Captain in the Marines. Pretty solid production.

A good movie but I definitely would not have cast Tobey Maguire in the role that he plays.

It was good enough to make me feel. But there was something missing, like the story didn't quite finish at the end, like it should have.

An intriguing concept of a movie but the writing for it was not as thrilling as this idea. Underwhelming plot

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

This is a great movie, Toby Maguire's acting was nothing less than phenomonal, I'd recommend it

Disturbing, realistic tale of a common but widely unaddressed topic for thousands of veterans - P.T.S.D. Very powerful movie. Thought provoking.

Warning: the torture scenes -- while not graphic or long-winded -- are disturbing.

Interesting story line, great cast, but Tobey McGuire overplayed his role. Worth the time, but don't drop everything to see it.

Tobey Maguire totally upped his game.

I hesitated to watch this , knowing that it was one of those 'heavy' films that might leave me more exhausted than appreaciative. It had a slow start and I thought maybe it would be a typical 'boy goes to war,wife and brother ( or best…

Must See - Brothers (2009) 105 min. Brothers is a powerful film that explores family relations where a parent exalts one son over the other - Tobey Maguire is considered the “good” brother while Jake Gyllenhaal plays the “lost one”. The…

This movie was pretty predictable. The best scenes were shown in the trailers. Jake Gyllenhaal looked extremely good though!

The movie was a cliche. Too predictable.
