Movie review: The Brothers Bloom -- 4 out of 5 stars

The Brothers Bloom is a dark "big con" comedy in The Grifters tradition. Writer-director Rian Johnson has a genre Jones, a literary bent and an ear for chewy dialogue. Brick, a film noir about a tough kid trying to solve a murder in his high school, was his debut. You probably haven't seen that, but it's worth renting.
