vellachsamie This is not your normal movie with 2 stories running parallel moving between them. This is not a movie with special effects. This is not even a gangster movie with lots of gunfight or blood and gore. This is a story about brothers. Brotherhood and commitment. This is a story about people with choices. This is about bravery. This movie is also about how bad people actually do things. Bad people don't go around shooting others. Lest they go to the jail. Bad men make others kill each other. Survival in this world is to know what is right and wrong. It has been a long time since I have seen a moving story such as this. The acting was above average by all actors. Even the girl who only appears a few times makes an impression. This movie is not for action fans. Please stay away if you are. This movie is for sensitive people who like to think during a movie and talk about it after the movie.

Joe I don't get it. This movie has some high levels supporters (such as James Cameron) praising the movie, yet I can't see in any way how they are able to back it up. We have here a film centring round two brothers, who are caught in the middle of a corruption ring. One brother is slow witted and is being used whilst the other is trapped in his efforts to help his brother.It's about brotherhood, loyalty, blood etc etc. The problem is that it just isn't gripping. The storyline is mostly poor and nothing complex, but the underlying themes need something challenging. It's absent here.The main leads are fair enough and not big names, working hard with the material in front of them, but they can little save this.The cinematography is beautiful and so is the natural scenery, but that's as good as it gets.Not by any means the poorest film of late, but one that I can't seem to like. If it wasn't for the major sponsors of this film it likely would never have got any of the attention it ever did.

subxerogravity It feels like an attempt to create dramatic violence similar to Martin Scorsese but this plan goes south super fast.The typical formula of two brothers whose father is killed before they are men. The oldest brother becomes a bad guy in order to take care of the younger brother assuring he becomes a good guy, And just when the good guy's life is about to turn great, he decides he needs to see his brother after years of silence to make life perfect,but of course things go bad when this happens.The characters were not as stereotyped, as I make it. They had some death to it and it was well executed by the actors playing these characters. The story was a good one as well.But the filmmakers style needs work. I just saw that this movie was written directed and produced by an Indian filmmaker. It could have been culturally I did not find the dramatic pauses appealing, just overall melodramatic, but I'll give him points for not going all Bollywood on me and sliding in musical numbers that made no since( and I can see places in the movie were he could have done that)Yeah, I found it more silly than anything so I won't recommend.

xtremruleslokesh I had always felt bad about not been able to see Munna Bhai M.B.B.S in theater at the time it came out because it was the movie I have loved forever. Well I never missed another Vidhu Vinod Chopra's movie. He is unbelievably talented in his own way of character driven films. He shows emotions in a way that has never been seen before but felt by everyone. May be that is the reason, his films are so good.Honestly I was little worried about the fact that Indian Cinema has its own way and "Broken Horses" might not be able to get to the taste of international audience but boy I was wrong. Not only did he make a wonderful movie for all but he has been successful in bringing two different cultures closer.Broken Horses is a story of two brother, living away from each other for long time. Its time for younger brother to get married but wait "Buddy" has a gift for him. The writing is just brilliant. No loop-holes in the script. No dip in the screenplay. Characters are fully developed.Specially "Buddy". Chris Marquette is absolutely mesmerizing in this movie. He plays a character who is still like a child and needs to take care of but in the wrong hands, he has become killer.Vincent D'Onofrio plays the manipulating villain that uses Buddy to do his dirty work. Anton Yelchin has played character of younger brother of Buddy. He hasn't been around to take care of his brother which he promised to his dad.Vidhu Vinod Chopra's movies do make you feel that untouched corner of your heart which you might have forgotten. This movie was successful in doing that once again. He owns this movie and I strongly recommend all to see this. I bet you will all go Banana, after watching this.
