Sacha Baron Cohen is a danger to both humans & birds in this Grimsby trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

MI6's top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he's an English football hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want – 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian. After they were adopted by different families as children, Nobby spent 28 years searching for him. Upon hearing of his location, Nobby sets off to reunite with his brother, unaware that not only is his brother an MI6 agent, but he's just uncovered a plot that puts the world in danger. Check out the trouble these two get into with the latest trailer from THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY!

These trailers focus a little too much on the action for my taste, but I can definitely see the potential of Sacha Baron Cohen playing off of Mark Strong's straight man character. On paper, the idea totally works, but the trailers haven't done the best of jobs selling it. Either way, I don't know if there will be much of an audience for this come March.

THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY opens on March 11, 2015.
