Bound by love for their slain adoptive mother, the brothers in Four Brothers form a unique quartet that gives John Singleton's film a razor's edge of redemption. It's a thin edge, to be sure, because while Singleton's urban Western pays homage to the Blaxpoitation films of the '70s (as he did with his remake of Shaft), it walks a fine line of credibility with a mythic vengeance plot (recalling John Wayne's 1965 hit The Sons of Katie Elder) that endorses violence as the last resort of a family under siege. When a saintly foster mother (Fionnula Flanagan) is gunned down in a convenience store, her only adopted sons (two white, two black, played respectively by Mark Wahlberg, Garrett Hedlund, Tyrese Gibson and Andre Benjamin) go after the killers, only to discover that their mother's death was not a random event. As they uncover a sticky web of criminal activity involving a local kingpin (Chiwitel Ejiofor), the character-driven plot races toward an inevitable showdown, with ex-con Wahlberg leading the way. Making excellent use of blue collar locations in Detroit, Singleton keeps the action moving fast enough that the film's lack of realism is easily ignored, and the well-drawn characters (including Terrence Howard as a tenacious detective) lend emotional dimension to an otherwise familiar revenge scenario. Four Brothers is manipulative, but it's filled with grace notes of rugged working-class humanity, and it definitely holds your attention. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition.

Most helpful customer reviews   The Funky Bunch., Dec 25 2005 By  Trauma (Gotham City) - See all my reviews This review is from: Four Brothers (Widescreen) (DVD) Having seen countless theatrical trailers for this film I had my mind made up that this would be very bad. So I rented it and reluctantly gave it a spin. Im very glad I did. Director John Singleton is allways hit or miss for me mostly miss but Brothers is an entertaining thriller with solid performances all around. There are occasional missteps mainly for me the suspension of disbeleif regarding the lack of authority on behalf of the law enforcers but thats really being pety. This is a work of fiction that aims to be direct and succeeds. Allthough not original(the idea of family revenge has been done ad nausem)Brothers is not super cgi quick cut slick in its action efforts nor does it attempt to be retro or way over the top. The sequences of violence are very very beleivable and a real high water mark next to the performances. Give Four Brothers a chance and you might find yourself pleasntly surprised. Oh yeah note to Marky Mark stop with the pretend tears of grief you just dont have the chops to be that convincing. Seriouslly I giggled every time he cryed in this movie.
