    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Brothers, the action comedy starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage, has found a home in Amazon MGM Studios.

    The movie will be available to stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Oct. 17.

    In addition to Brolin and Dinklage, the big-name cast includes Oscar winner Brendan Fraser, eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close, Taylour Paige (Zola), late character actor M. Emmet Walsh in one of his last roles and Jennifer Landon (Yellowstone).

    Brothers tells the story of a reformed criminal (Brolin) whose attempt at going straight is derailed when he reunites with his sanity-testing twin brother (Dinklage) on a road trip for the score of a lifetime.

    Dodging bullets, the law and an overbearing mother along the way, they must heal their severed family bond before they end up killing each other.

    Macon Blair wrote the screenplay from a story by Etan Cohen.

    I’ve been a Dinklage fan since the station agent. The dude can just slap act.
