It's watchable if there's nothing else to do, but this movie could've been better. However Chiwetol Ejiofor's performance as the villain in this movie is outstanding. |

Four Brothers review |
|
Evelyn Mercer (Fionnula Flanagan) has been shot down at a convenience store. The people in the neighborhood know her good nature. Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), Angel (Tyrese Gibson), Jeremiah (André Benjamin) and Jack Mercer (Garrett Hedlund) try to find the real killer while Lieutenant Green (Terrence Howard) and Detective Fowler (Josh Charles) try to resolve murders. Soundtrack and acting were descent. The plot though too unbelievable was entertaining enough. Action sequences were enjoyable and it's messages were provocative but had that "preachy feel" since the direction was unclear. Some of the acting seemed forced and gangsters felt too scripted.

"Four Brothers" by Yojimbo |
|
A saintly old lady is executed during a liquor store hold up and her four foster sons reunite to hunt down her killers. Four Brothers is exactly the kind of braindead action thriller that holds extreme violence up as the answer to all of life's problems as we follow Marky Mark and co on their rampage through the streets of Detroit using nothing but their wits. And thuggery, torture and huge quantities of lead, of course. There is no character development, little meaningful dialogue and the testosterone fuelled mix of male bonding and dodgy sentimentality (the thanksgiving scene is one of the most cringeworthy things I have ever seen) belies quite a staggering lack of subtlety or sophistication, even by Hollywood action movie standards. Singleton throws in enough well handled action scenes... |
