and possibly con each other . no one truly can tell what real because not only be they unsure themselves and they know that every one of them have the potential to make up an elaborate scheme to

weisz ) be well inform enough to see through and yet too naïve to put together . straight from the start and a childhood narrate by ricky jay and these boy have get what they want and plan to perfection . train by the nefarious diamond dog and the men and ( brody portray the other and bloom ) and have eclipse their master and take the world by storm . along with their pyrotechnic guru bang bang and ( rinko kikuchi ) and a select cast of regular actor ( robbie coltrane a the belgian and a great string of cameo in a bar scene early on with nora zehetner and noah segan and and a blink and

with detail upon detail and never shy away from have an important plot point occur in the background and behind a conversation or action by our lead at the forefront . most time they be joke and lend some levity to the situation and one that become ever more dark a the charade go along while unexpectedly dark and yet perfectly so . his use of humor infuse a heart into the proceeding and a true bond and relationship between stephen and bloom and two men that learn to hate each other at the end of a job and but always come to the others help when need at the start . you must be diligent to the environment surround our actor and a it be just as much play a role a they and help a truly bold and intricate story be disguise a a simple one . very slight on first appearance and it be the fact that it so well tell that make it seem simple than it really be . without any bloated superfluity or weakly handle tangent and this tightly woven tapestry live on it own at a breakneck speed and culminate with a spectacular final twist and an end that have be build up right from the start in that bourgeois playground during the boy foster home placement . the brother bloom look out for each other and never let the other down and no matter what damage it may cause to themselves . in the end and they do it all for their brother and anything they can to make the other life a success .
