Directed by Jim Sheridan [JSHER], Brothers [BRTHS] doesn't seem to know what genre it wants to be. The trailer starts off as a tragic drama as Natalie Portman [NPORT] mourns the presumed death of her husband, played by Tobey Maguire [TMAGU], fighting in Afghanistan. Then the story becomes a romance as she takes comfort with his younger brother, played by Jake Gyllenhaal [JGYLL]. Then all of a sudden, the trailer twists into a suspense thriller as the husband returns alive and confronts the affair. Not helping matters is the terrible choice in music that bludgeons you with forced emotions.
Lionsgate [LGFX] will release Brothers on December 4.
