Moviegoers, mark your calendars! Brothers, an offbeat crime comedy starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage, is coming your way this fall, with a release date set for October 10th, 2024 in select theaters and a Prime Video streaming release starting October 17th. Directed by Max Barbakow, known for his hit film Palm Springs, Brothers promises to deliver a quirky blend of family drama, heists, and road trip chaos.

The film's trailer introduces us to two twin brothers—played by Brolin and Dinklage—whose rocky relationship fuels the story. Brolin plays a reformed criminal trying to leave his old life behind, but things go awry when his eccentric twin, portrayed by Dinklage, drags him into a dangerous heist. As they dodge bullets and the law, the brothers must repair their strained bond while navigating a madcap cross-country road trip.
Fans of character-driven comedy with a touch of crime caper will be intrigued by the cast lineup. Besides the leading duo, the film features performances from Brendan Fraser, Glenn Close, Taylour Paige, and M. Emmet Walsh, making for an ensemble that could elevate even the wildest of plots.

However, the trailer itself might leave viewers uncertain. Some early reactions hint at a made-for-TV vibe, with jokes that don't always land, leaving potential audiences curious but cautious. It's a trailer that suggests more comedic promise than it delivers—at least at first glance.
Despite this, with Macon Blair's script (notable for I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore), there's potential for deeper humor and emotional resonance. The chemistry between Brolin and Dinklage, combined with Barbakow's distinct storytelling style, could make Brothers an unexpected hit, especially for those who enjoy character-driven comedies with heart.
