The Brotherhood (2001)
Bruderman glimmers in drab Brotherhood!
Yes, the critics' comments are well taken, but not all was bad in this offering. With some fine tuning of the dialogue, this would have been a fine B-movie. I can't help but to think what a Jos Whedon type spice would have done to the characters and scenes. The plot premise was unique, even if the delivery was weak. Often, the actors seemed to be begging for the camera to stop rolling, mostly because of the limp dialogue.
I too could have done with less homoerotic images, or at least a balance of time spent traveling along the wondrous smile and sexy shimmer that Elizabeth Bruderman delivered. Even with a weak script, she managed to shine. She has a flash about her that seems to promise a glamorous future. I look forward to seeing her in future films. I suspect that she simply needs a better vehicle to put her on the road too glamour and fame. They should have used her siren abilities even more, and I don't mean that she needed to take off her clothing. Bruderman seems capable of seducing with a wicked smile, devilish glance, and dusky voice.
