About this movie

In The Sisters Brothers, Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly blaze a trail of action, adventure and sly wit as Charlie and Eli Sisters, notorious sibling assassins who are hired to kill a gold prospector accused of stealing from their tyrannical boss. Based on Patrick deWitt’s award-winning novel of the same name, this western is a wildly chaotic ride from start to finish.

Anything with either Juaquin or Jon C. most likely I won't be able to pass up primarily cause their previous work... Mabey some people would not have thought that on-screen this duo would work but there was more than a few scenes where u can tell that they kept rolling and just went with it and came up with gold. Well in the end you are not left wanting more I thought that that the balance was just right!!! Big props to the hireups that had them in mind when they wrote this script!!!

I have no dislike of comic-book movies (this film is in the Western-genre), however, films like this one are a display of film-making that exhibits greatness in nearly every aspect of the art. The Sisters Brothers is a film that brought me great joy in discussing with my group afterwards by meeting together at a 24/7 breakfast place with plenty of strong coffee and Newport cigarettes. Of course, the director, actors, screen-writer, et al deserve the lavish praise this film received at Venice. Italy as a nation loved this film in a way that displays excellent taste in film.

Good to see a film that is not straight forward story. I am glade the filmmakers took their time to let the characters and stories develop. Not a mindless action fast past seen it wondering what happened kind of a film.
