Review


Bill is an Ivy League philosophy professor who is tricked into returning to his hometown in Oklahoma by his identical twin brother, Brady. Although Brady seems like a stereotypical redneck, he is a brilliant scientist specializing in the marijuana trade. Brady seeks his brother's help and the drama/comedy ensues. Edward Norton's performance is excellent, which is no surprise. However, there are many shocking turns in this film. Philosophy and intellectualism are clearly apparent with a nice dosage of straight up retarded behavior. The drama overshadows the comedy but as always Edward Norton delivers!
