The Sisters Brothers Storyline

The story follows Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly) and Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix), two hitmen brothers in the pay of a wealthy man known only as The Commodore (Rutger Hauer), who tasks them with killing a man named Hermann Kermit Warm (Riz Ahmed). The Commodore claims that Warm stole from him and left town. Eli comments that he finds it suspicious how many people seem to steal from a dangerous man like the Commodore, but Charlie defends their employer. Warm is being tracked by John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal), a scout also in the Commodore’s employ. Morris finds Warm travelling by wagon train south to San Francisco, California with the Gold Rush and befriends him. Warm complains of the difficulties involved in his trip, and Morris helps him by buying him a horse and travelling with him to Jacksonville, where, unbeknownst to Warm, Morris has arranged to rendezvous with the Sisters brothers. When they arrive, Warm finds handcuffs in Morris’ bags, realizes what his true intentions are, and threatens Morris with a gun. However, Morris overpowers him and restrains him. While he is tied up, Warm reveals that he is en route to California to find gold using a chemical substance of his own devising. The Sisters brothers have been sent to retrieve the formula from him, which he expects they will do by means of torture before killing him. Unable to stand the thought of allowing an innocent man to be murdered for the Commodore’s profit, Morris frees Warm and leaves Jacksonville with him. On the road toward San Francisco, Warm reveals that his ultimate plan is to create a Utopian society, free from greed and other social ills, in Texas.

The Sisters Brothers Movie Reviews

Demystified euro western displaying the colorful ordinary man!!

Unusual European western with top notch American casting, developed with realistic setting, which expose common folks with their foibles, handicaps and dreams, often left behind they suffering past, once I’d heard an interview of Clint Eastwood about the standard American westerns, he told something like that “I don’t know where (the producers, writers and actors) they got the idea of those stereotyped well-dressed women with clean clothes, red lipsticks on their lips, quick draws men wearing fancy outfits riding those thoroughbred horses richly customized and so on”, Eastwood was right it’s a pure fantasy.

The Brothers Sisters has come to demystified this misconception, the slow Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly) is peaceful, methodic, always keeping a red scarf gave for a teacher in the past, every single night before sleeping he smell it quite earnestly, Charlie (Joaquin Phoenix) the last-born is clever and wicked, they work as hired gun to a powerful Commodore (Rutger Hauer), thereafter the last assignment the odd Charles says that henceforward their Boss suggest he as the duo’s leader, therefore Eli share ought be reduced for the next job, the sluggish Eli complains to Charlie was fostered to a leadership he should be got a raise instead to decrease your share.

The next task will pressure a man called Hermann (Riz Ahmed) to yield a secret recipe with the aid of John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal), unluckily arriving in the rendezvous with John Morris didn’t show up, somehow made a deal with the prey Hermann, breaking the previous arrangement, thru a research at Frisco the crafty Charlie discovers the hideout of them, prospecting gold, swiftly both starting a searching for both in mining area at nortwest.

Along the long journey we’ll learning all about them, the bleak past of Charlie, however the picture focuses more deeply in the colorful Eli displaying minor details of his life, the red scarf, the first tooth brushing, his astonishment when he saw the toilet at Frisco, the spider sequence, weird when he talking with his sick horse apologizing until his sudden death, trying figure out fancy words spoken by Charlie, at brothel when invites a woman to deliver his own red scarf like it was his first girlfriend and finally arriving back home resting peaceful at your single bed while the wind blows at curtain, pure poetry about an ordinary life, what wonderful performance gave by the finest actor John C. Reilly!!!

A dark and nihilistic western thick on dialogue and atmosphere.

So I saw The Sisters Brothers at the theater. I really didn’t know what to expect from the movie going in. The trailer made it seem to be a strange buddy comedy western, but I’m a fan of all of the actors so I wanted to give it a chance. Thankfully this was a case of an absolutely misleading trailer. I really enjoyed the end product and think this is one of the best westerns made in years.

The movie is a gritty and at times nihilistic western heavy on atmosphere and dialogue. The film tells two parallel stories that eventally connect as the bounty hunters the Sisters Brother chase after their prey a scientist who has discovered an efficient way to find gold. Along the way both parties encounter struggles that really emphasize the hardships of that era. This is not the kind of western with good and bad guys. Everyone is morally grey and is just trying to survive the best they can.

Anyone looking for an grand and extravagant plot should look elsewhere. The movie is far more about the journey than the destination. The initial conflict acts as a MacGuffin. The real meat of the plot is more of a character study on the brutality of the wild west and the impact it has on the individual. The film plays with traditional Hollywood tropes and the audience’s own expectation to craft it’s own unique voice of the era.

The brutal nature of the film was one of my favorite parts. The film really ripped away the glamour of a silver screen western and left it bleeding on a table. The movie makes it clear that life was hard, fast, and cheap. A random spider bite, visit to the doctors, or drunken hangover on a horse could easily end a person’s life. There was no time for finding something to make you happy when everyday was a struggle to survive. This added realism really captured the nihilistic feel of the movie and added a bleak and somber tone to the film’s progression.

The film was also very well directed and shot. The cinematography of the action scenes were fast and fluid, but never felt choppy. This by no means the kind of western with epic battles, but the action suited the overall tone of the film. The director also really did a good job with the set pieces as you really felt like you were in the wild west. The film was exceptionally well shot. The films at times was absolutely stunning to look at. The film also provides an excellent score to match the intense atmosphere the film cultivates.

Acting wise John C Reilly stole the show. It’s always nice to see him in films like this to remind everyone what kind of range he has as an actor. Joaquin Phoenix also delivers as the alcoholic and and fast tempered brother. Jake Gyllenhaal was solid as expected, but didn’t really stand out in any way in the film. Still I don’t have a single complaint about the acting in the film. Everyone did their jobs perfectly.

The film certainly was a very slow burn. It was heavy on dense dialogue and required quite a bit of attention. These are not negatives in my book as they were intentional, but this will not make people happy who are looking for a more traditional western. I will say that the film could have been cut down twenty or so minutes to speed up the flow of the plot. This slight pacing issue did make the film drag at times. The plot structure may be a bit of a turn off for some as well. The bleak and nihilistic flow of the film that puts the initial conflict as secondary may come across as anti-climatic for some.

In a lot of ways this is one of my favorite westerns I’ve seen in years. I love the actors, but it’s the directors masterstrokes that really makes this movie stand out. It was all around one of the best made movies I have seen all year. It certainly had its flaws and it is not going to make anyone happy if they are expecting a traditional Western, but for those who care more about the journey and atmosphere this movie is for you. Unfortunately this movie is bombing in the box office, but it certainly deserves some praise for its accomplishments. A 8.25 out of 10.

A French existential western.

Considering that “The Sisters Brothers” stars some amazing actors (John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix and Jake Gyllenhaal), it should have been an amazing film. Instead, I found it quite dull and slow….and yet also filled with incredible violence to boot.

The film is from French director Jacques Audiard and was filmed in Europe…and stars a mostly American cast. Now some seeing it might think that the film is more like the real west, as it lacks the pretty cowboys of westerns of the 1920s-50s. However, while these films paint a very inaccurate picture of the west, so does this one. To put it bluntly, the west was not this violent and shootouts like you see in the movie were very, very rare.

When the story begins the Commodore procures the services of the insanely violent Sister brothers (Reilly and Phoenix) to track down Herman Warm (Riz Ahmed…an odd choice in casting as he is Pakistani/British and you never would have seen Pakistanis out in the old west). He apparently developed a formula to make panning for gold VERY profitable, as it makes the gold glow in the rivers. Additionally, John Morris (Gyllenhaal) also is trying to find and kill Warm. Oddly, however, when they meet up with Warm, they decide to join up with him to look for gold….and not surprisingly, folks come to try to kill them.

To say this is a slow and depressing film is an understatement and it’s obvious the film was intended to be that way. This combined with some portions where folks talk about life, death and the meaning of life make it seem more like a film written by Jean-Paul Sartre than a mainstream movie! Some obviously like this, based on the reviews, I just found myself trying hard to pay enjoy the movie and stay awake. Somehow all the vomit and blood still didn’t keep my attention!
