While some accused director Rian Johnson of indulging in style over substance with his debut feature - the neo-noir Brick - the simple fact is that Johnson's debut oozed both style and maturity far above his years. Was he playing? Hell yes, and what a game he's capable of. A few years later, a few years older, and Johnson is back on the scene with his sophomore film, the con-man caper The Brothers Bloom. With a cast that just won't quit - Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz and Rinko Kikuchi - this is smart, stylish stuff - an absolute joy to watch for any fan of classic cinema. Here's hoping the finished film lives up to the high standards of the trailer, because the trailer's great.

Johnson tells the tale of the Bloom brothers, two young con men whose lives change forever upon meeting an attractive young heiress named Penelope. While initially the brothers plan to con her, she becomes an unlikely partner in their latest scheme through an incredible twist of fate. The plot thickens when Penelope’s beauty and brains enchant one of the brothers, threatening to break a lifelong bond of kinship.
