The Fallen and the Left Standing

In the December drama Brothers directed by Jim Sheridan, Tobey Maguire plays a soldier sent to fight in Afghanistan.

Presumed dead, his black-sheep brother (Jake Gyllenhaal) becomes caretaker to his wife (Natalie Portman) and children.

And just when Gyllenhaal and Portman’s characters begin to grow closer, Maguire’s re-enters the picture, and that’s when things begin to really unravel.
