I want my money back.

Dull, slow, no pay off.

I thought it was pretty good for what it was. I was expecting it to be kind of goofy based on the trailers, but it had a lot more heart and seriousness. The casting was great - looking at the names I figured it would be strong, and I wasn't disappointed. Fun way to spend a late morning.

3.5 STARS

Well done movie. I thought it would be a comedy based on the preview scene shown before other movies but it's not really. Nevertheless, original and Reilly and Phoenix were a great match.

It was a decent movie. The only problem I had it’s that it took place during the night (80%), making it hard to follow the plot.

Skip it might appeal to some but so not worth wasting time to watch it.

John C. Reilly is one of the most underrated performers of our time. He held the movie together quite well. Excellent film.

Great movie. Not predictable like most American movies. Go see it!

It was ok, probably would of enjoyed it more if the run times was shorter.

Well made and very well acted movie. After mainly seeing John C. Reilly play in slapstick comedies like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, it's funny (especially in the beginning) hearing him be more serious. That being said, he gave a great performance as well as Joaquin Phoenix and Jake Gyllenhaal. The movie isn't as much of a comedy or an action movie as I was expecting and thought it would be from the trailers. It's a little slower paced, so I'm sure for that reason it's not everyone's cup of tea. I read a review saying it was slow paced before seeing it so that appropriately set my expectations. Wasn't predictable, especially the end. Overall, well made movie with good acting with some laughs and some action. I'd probably give it a 75%.

Excellent!!!

My favorite book of recent years. This is an adequate adaptation but not memorable or nearly as funny as the novel.

The Sisters Brothers sneaks its messages in the back door, how a world built on justifiable fear and firearms makes life cheap and souls hollow, how the amorality and violence numbed one and all and how lives back then could be just as angst-ridden as they are today, no matter how quick the “hero” is on the draw.

There’s a strangeness to certain passages of Sisters that bolsters it through its seedy saloons and cacophonous firefights, and it constitutes the best the film has to offer.

It’s something of a hangout Western, too, and its pleasures mostly come down to the company we get to keep with the characters and the actors easing into their eccentricities.
