2.5/4  Four Brothers Quick Review
Bloodthirsty vengeance drama; things are figured out too quickly and there are too many "surprises", but it's slick and the acotrs have good chemistry. Final Grade: B-

Good movie to watch.

2.5/4  Four Brothers Quick Review
A decent revenge action / drama with a few twists and half-hearted red herrings thrown in the mix. It doesn't bust the genre wide open, but it's good enough to at least see once.

4/5 great action movie!!!!
  by Adam Peace (Chino, CA)
I'm surprised to see this movie with an average review of 3 and a half stars. This is a great movie with lots of action and a great story line! Plus Mark Wahlberg is in it, and he really doesn't make a bad movie! There are some really cool guns in the movie, and a very awesome shootout that lasts about 5 minutes. If you like lots of action including fist fights, and gun action, you will really like this movie. The only reason this movie didn't get 5 stars in my opinion is that some of the actors could have done a better job in playing their character. But Mark Wahlberg is very good! rated R for violence and language.

5/5 Excellent

5/5 Four Brothers is a 4 Star DVD
  by alex fryling (erie pa)
Four Brothers takes the drama to your TV. When I bought this movie I thought there was going to be more action in it but it was more of a thriller, action and drama mixed into one. All four main actors delivered and I liked the fact that the mixed up the race 2 whites and blacks so it made the movie have different personalities and backgrounds. Also each brother had a different background but I thought it was cool how each brother was there to have each other's back. Even after the one brother ended up getting killed that's when they really came together. Lots of good fighting and action scenes I liked the end when they decided to bury the guy alive under the ice. Overall four brothers is a great movie and if you can pick it up for $9.99 that would be a good pick up and I'll go with 4 out of 5 stars DVD.

4/5 One for All and All for One

They have returned back home to gloomy freezing cold at winter Detroit for their mother's funeral. She was shot in what seemed a random robbery-gone-wrong in a convenient store. There were four brothers even though they did not resemble each other a bit. All four were adopted by a murdered woman many years ago when she was a social worker and tried to find new homes for the children from dysfunctional families. Nobody wanted those four. She did. She took them in, brought them up, gave them love and support and they called her mom and themselves - brothers. Now she is dead, and the brothers start their own investigation on the dirty and often deadly streets of their childhood city to find those who were behind the murder. Very soon they discover that the robbery was a cover up for a hit murder. Someone wanted their mother dead and paid for her murder. Four brothers Mercer, Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), the leader, the oldest, toughest, short- tempered, and stubborn; Jeremiah (Andre Benjamin), the only family man of four who had taken care of the mother the last years; Angel (Tyres Gibson), the sexy one, and Jack (Garrett Hedlund), the youngest, whom three older brothers try to protect, are determined to avenge their mother's death no matter what it would cost. The film was directed by John Singleton as an urban thriller -revenge movie which is also a family drama, and I like it very much. It is violent, gritty, it moves well, it's got many plot turns on its way, it is packed with very effective dynamic action scenes, and acting is very good by all principal players. I was especially impressed by Chiwetel Ejiofor's turn as Victor Sweet, the pure evil despite his name. Ejifor said once, "I like to disappear into a role. I equate the success of it with a feeling of being chemically changed". The actor whom I first noticed in a compelling role of an illegal immigrant in London in the film Dirty Pretty Things (2002), was frightening in Four Brothers. I am also becoming a fan of Mark Wahlberg. He's got charisma and screen presence. The film does not fail to provide some humor, to show how much the four brothers mean to one another, and what the woman whom they lost meant to them. I missed the movie when it was released and actually did not know anything about it until this evening when its opening scene grabbed my attention; I began watching and did not leave until the credits started rolling.

A bit of trivia: John Singleton is the youngest Oscar nominated director. He received the honors at the age of 24 after completing and releasing his directorial debut, the phenomenal Boyz n the Hood (1991) which was based on his own childhood in a LA ghetto. Where do you move if you start your career on such high note? Four Brothers may not be as great as Boyz n the Hood but it is a darn good and entertaining film.
