Four Brothers
Posted on November 2, 2005 in Movies
Recently I watched Four Brothers which is a mix between a action film and a drama film about four brothers whose adoptive mother is murdered and they figure out that it wasn’t a accident during a robbery like the cops are saying but an cold blooded assassination. They set out to avenge their mother and mange to do so but at the cost of one of them. The movie is much better than I expected, I almost stopped watching it after 20 minutes because I thought it was going to be melodramatic bull but then they took a sharp turn with the planned assassination change which made it interesting.

Four adopted brothers (Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin, and Garrett Hedlund) come to avenge their mother’s (Fionnula Flanagan) death at what appears to be a random killing in a grocery store robbery. However, the boy’s investigation of the death reveals more nefarious activities involving the one brother’s (Benjamin) business dealings with a notorious local hoodlum (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Two cops (Terence Dashon Howard, Josh Charles), who are trying to solve the case, may also not be what they seem. While a fairly standard tale, their are still several twists and unexpected turns that keeps things interesting.
