Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]his intense story of family conflict is powerful and gripping, an absolutely mesmerizing motion picture experience.
Box Office
Although Brothers is not a first-rate film, it informs us about the after-effects of war and is worth seeing while we wait for better ones to come along.

Common Sense Media
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Sheridan and his screenplay sources make BROTHERS much more than a drama about war and marriage. It is about what we can forgive ourselves for...
Chicago Sun-Times
3 stars out of 5 -- [Maguire] gives his al as the traumatised war hero...Portman is convincingly conflicted...
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
A gritty sibling saga offers a strong reinforcement of the reality that, for many returned soldiers, some battle scars never heal.

Product Description:
Jim Sheridan's film, adapted from Susanne Bier's 2004 movie, concerns Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire), a Marine who receives orders to ship out for yet another tour of duty in Afghanistan. But before he leaves his supportive wife, Grace (Natalie Portman), and his two elementary-school-age daughters, Sam picks up his black sheep brother, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), who has finished a prison stretch for robbing a bank. While overseas, Sam's aircraft gets shot down and he's thought dead. Back home, irresponsible Tommy gets his act together in order to be an anchor for Grace and the girls, and the two grow emotionally -- though not physically -- close. As the family finally begins to make peace with their grief, soldiers rescue POW Sam and he returns home. Sam's experiences overseas have caused him such emotional turmoil, he has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life, and soon his fear and paranoia manifest themselves in the form of jealousy for his brother's relationship with his wife. Sam Shepard and Mare Winningham co-star as the brothers' father and stepmother.
