The Brothers Bloom feels different from any crime caper you've ever seen, even though its machinations still revolve around con artists who play tricks on each other -- and the audience.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
Although it's got a strong cast and visual panache, Johnson willfully dispenses with the caper complications that might have made it more fun.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
It's all a con, but thanks to Johnson's way with characters and dialogue, we don't mind the hustle so long as we're rewarded along the way.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Even if you don't quite comprehend the ending (there seem to be 12 of them), you'll still feel the wallop of its consequences.
