My Brother's Keeper

I was fortunate enough to have been invited along to an early sneak preview screening of this movie in LA a few weeks back and I was completely blown away. From the word go I was totally and utterly welded to my seat. The storyline takes you on a heart stopping journey deep into the mind of a mentally ill soldier as he returns home from Afghanistan a totally changed man. Upon his return he rapidly loses control of reality and when his younger brother is advised to leave the house because he is no longer safe to live with him, the film becomes almost unbearable to watch as he slowly begins to turn against his own family. I found the storyline to be very original indeed and totally unpredictable. You never know what's coming next. I thought the performances were fantastic from all of the main cast members and the direction was both provoking and indeed terrifying with some very unique twists and turns throughout. For me this was hints of Falling Down meets Psycho meets Misery. A very scary movie for those who enjoy Thriller and Suspense and a must see for all Scottish Movie fans. I very much look forward to seeing the next feature film instalment from Scottish Filmmaker Lee Hutcheon.
