Movie propaganda

A dark fantasy about Will (Matt Damon) and Jake Grimm (Heath Ledger) who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing fake monsters and demons in exchange for cash. When the French government figures out what they're up to, they force the brothers to deal with the real thing - a number of murders being committed under mysterious circumstances in the northern woods between Germany and France. It is there that they have to try and discover what's really happening and deal with it before more people are killed or their lack of success leads to the guillotine.

Theatrical report

The Brothers Grimm is a fantasy action adventure with lots of fun bits. It gives me the feeling that Terry Gilliam needed to make a mainstream film to finance his other stuff (see Lost in La Mancha). Fork over some dosh and support the arts.
