The Brothers DVD (2001)

As we find out from the DVD release of "The Brothers", the four lead characters have a lot in common with the fears of the director.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Picture With a sharp bright transfer, there are no faults with the picture quality.

Sound Four guys talking a lot doesn't demand much from a 5.1 sound mix, so there isn't much for the speakers to do.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Audio Commentary There's little to be extracted from director Gary Hardwick's commentary. It's a genial effort but what it boils down to is Hardwick offering an exceptionally detailed plot description of the film.

Gary Hardwick Interview This conversation is far more helpful than his commentary, should you wish to learn about anything more than simply the plot of the movie. Hardwick reveals that the four lead roles represent the four sides to his character, allowing him to explore his fears through the script. Essentially they all boil down to "poor boy made good", which is how Hardwick would describe himself.

Additional Extra Features Also on the DVD are four deleted scenes with commentary, cast and crew filmographies, and a trailer gallery.
