"An emotionally charged story of two brothers who struggle to find their place within their family after one of them is sent to the war in Afghanistan."
"Sam e Tommy Cahill sono fratelli, ma non si possono immaginare due persone più diverse tra loro. Sam è un marine, ha sposato Grace, la fidanzata dei tempi del liceo con cui ha avuto due figli, è un marito fedele e un padre affettuoso, pronto a sacrificarsi per la Patria. Suo fratello minore Tommy, invece, non ha mai messo la testa a posto. Entra ed esce di prigione, non ha relazioni stabili e negli anni si è costruito l'immagine di provocatore e pecora nera della famiglia. Il giorno in cui Tommy esce di prigione, viene invitato da suo fratello alla festa che ha organizzato per salutare amici e parenti prima di partire per una missione in Afghanistan e, come ogni volta, le tensioni familiari esplodono. Quando però, qualche tempo dopo, non si hanno più notizie dell'elicottero su cui Sam era a bordo e viene ipotizzata la sua morte, Tommy decide, per la prima volta nella sua vita, di prendersi delle responsabilità. Sarà lui a occuparsi di Grace e dei bambini. Dopo un inizio difficile, tra lui e sua cognata inizia a crearsi un rapporto molto stretto. Ma in realtà Sam non è morto: catturato dai talebani, è stato sottoposto a prigionia, minacce e torture che hanno minato alla base la sua personalità. Nella famiglia Cahill ora, niente è più come prima..."@it

"Two brothers unwittingly exchange roles under the fog of war in this powerful drama. Michael (Ulrich Thomsen) and Jannick (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) are two brothers who have always meshed as well as oil and water. Michael is a caring husband and father who risen to the rank of major in the Danish Army, while Jannick is an alcoholic with a violent streak who has been in and out of prison much of his life. Jannick has just been released after serving time for armed robbery when Michael learns he's being sent to Afghanistan; Jannick quarrels with both Michael and his parents at a going-away dinner, which does nothing to endear him to Michael's wife, Sarah (Connie Nielsen). However, when Sarah receives word that Michael's helicopter has been shot down and the crew has gone missing, Jannick tries to assume some degree of familial responsibility, helping Sarah with the children and helping to keep the house in repair. As the months roll on, Jannick finds that family life agrees with him; he cuts back on his drinking, gets a job, and grows increasingly fond of Sarah, who also takes a liking to her brother-in-law's new style. However, as Jannick finally grows into a responsible adult, he and Sarah learn that Michael has been released from an Afghan military prison and is being sent home. As Sarah and Jannick come to terms with their feelings for one another, they are disturbed by Michael's new presence; after several hellish months in captivity, he's become an angry and emotionally broken man, who is haunted by ugly memories and suspects his wife and brother of betrayal."@en
"Acclaimed Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan (MY LEFT FOOT, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER) directs this remake of Susanne Blier's Danish original, BROTHERS follows the trials and tribulations of a young man who must comfort his sister-in-law and her children when his brother disappears in Afghanistan."
""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"--AllRovi, Sept. 19, 2011."
