Brothers** (15)
Cineworld Ipswich

US 2009. Lionsgate/Relativity Media. 105m. ws

The most beloved of two brothers goes to fight in Afghanistan and goes missing, while the other brother is despised; when rescued from the front line, the roles are reversed.
Thoughtful love triangle material (a remake of a Danish original with an interesting Taliban sub-plot), artificial at times, but with performances helping to transcend most of the cliches.
