Based on the classic novel by John Steinbeck, this tragic Depression-era tale of two brothers wandering the country in search of steady work gets a fresh rereading thanks to outstanding performances by both Sinise and Malkovich. The actors build on their long-standing professional relationship, forged at Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theatre (which the pair helped to co-found), and capture the earnestness of Steinbeck’s protagonists with restrained sentiment.
