Locking Up Laughs: High-Octane Hijinks and Brotherhood

Upcoming Comedy "Brothers" Unleashes Twisted Tale of Criminal Twins

The director of one of the funniest films of the decade, "Palm Springs", has returned with a new Amazon MGM Studios joint, and this time, he’s paired up Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as criminal twins.

In Brothers, an action comedy from director Max Barbakow, we find out what happens when these two estranged brothers reunite for one last job on a cross-country road trip. As they attempt to pull off their scheme, they’re thwarted by their own personal demons and the reappearance of their deranged mother, played by Glenn Close.

With Brendan Fraser alongside, adding his brand of humor and chaos to the mix, and Marisa Tomei delivering a particularly memorable performance, "Brothers" promises to be a wildly entertaining ride full of slapstick shenanigans, family dysfunction, and the occasional appearance by a giant orangutan named Samuel.

What the Movie’s About

Brothers tells the story of a reformed criminal whose attempt at going straight is derailed when he reunites with his sanity-testing twin brother on a cross-country road trip for the score of a lifetime. Dodging bullets, the law, and their overbearing mother along the way, they must heal their severed family bond before they end up killing each other.

Joining the misadventurous twosome on their escapade are Taylour Paige, Jennifer Landon, and the late, great M. Emmet Walsh.

Will it Conquer our Hearts?

When the movie hits Prime Video in the UK and Ireland on 17 October, will Brothers manage to steal our hearts? Or will it leave us feeling robbed of our precious time? We’ll have to wait and find out, but for now, we’re excited to see this wacky story unfold on the big (or small) screen.
