After the /Westerns subreddit brought up The Sisters Brothers (which I saw in theatres in 2018) I decided to forgo its availability on Plex with its endless ads and rent it for a re-watch.

This is a film that probably slipped under the radars of most moviegoers as I've never really seen it discussed. Starring John C Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Riz Ahmed, and based off the book by Canadian author Patrick deWitt. Small cameos by Carol Kane and Rutger Hauer (in his last accredited role).

I loved it and still do. If you get the chance you may want to add this to a watchlist.

Soderbergh directed, and this is well before Ocean's 11, but has that kind of vibe. A very strong cast with some fun performances. The chemistry between Clooney and Lopez is really strong.

Just re-watched Out of Sight recently as well - it was great.

You know what? I've seen it. It didn't leave a huge impression on me though. Maybe a rewatch is in order.
