Review of Brothers

Brothers (2004)
3/10
Connie Nielsen drags it down
15 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
No spoilers herein - the movie is already spoilt.

Nice premise, however, and some excellent Danish actors. Also, we know from previous movies that the director is very talented.

But the semi-Danish female lead, Connie Nielsen, is obviously miscast.

Yes, she may be a big name in Hollywood. But she only masters one facial expression - and so uses it throughout the entire movie. They could have used a mannequin doll and no one would have noticed the difference! For me this ruined the entire movie. How very annoying, I almost wanted to slap her face - just to provoke some genuine expression.

This is supposed to be a serious drama - not a Loreal commercial!
