You can feel James Gray wanting to will something like a Lumet version of Greek tragedy into the tale of these brothers, and of Irwin’s blind loyalty to Gary’s huckster-psycho moves.
But even the scene-to-scene skill of Gray’s direction can’t stop the movie from turning into a mixture of the grandiose and the implausible.
