When their adopted mother is gunned down in a store robbery the 'four brothers' investigated the murder for themselves & look for the killers but not all is what it seems.
Four adopted brothers come to avenge their mother's death in what appears to be a random killing in a grocery store robbery. However, the boys' investigation of the death reveals more nefarious activities involving the one brother's business dealings with a notorious local hoodlum. Two cops who are trying to solve the case may also not be what they seem.
John Singleton never really seems to disappoint me, the story might be a little far-fetched for some people and depending on how you look at the whole street justice thing it might raise questions morally but I think it was well put together and well acted. I also liked the similarities and some of the differences that each of the brothers had, they were all endearing to me.<br/><br/>I also enjoyed the passion showed by the characters for their mother and doing anything in their power to find who was responsible for their mother&#39;s killer. The camaraderie it wonderful.<br/><br/>I also love the gritty look and feel of some of the different Detroit locales.<br/><br/>I also like the transition Andre Benjamin&#39;s character, Jeremiah goes through.<br/><br/>The lone walk that Mark Whalberg takes at the end with the long coat and crucifix to match, was one of the best shots to me…cliché or not.<br/><br/>The frozen river just driving on it looked cool not to mention the other things that happened.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the theater I went to, everyone spent so much time laughing uproariously at every joke I missed a bunch of dialogs but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
There was a time when John Singleton used to grab a camera and go out and shoot on the streets thus capturing where and what he knew best; capturing his life as he saw it or recalled it and delivering engaging stories detailing hope and tragedy all the same. Those days were round about 1991 and the result of all that documentation was Boyz in the Hood, a memorable and engaging debut film. Following numerous other films that don&#39;t really hit the spot came Four Brothers, and it seems all Singleton can do now is make genre pictures detailing scruffy clichés and the glorification of violence solving the problem, and it&#39;s sort of difficult not to enjoy it in a guilty manner.<br/><br/>But only in a guilty manner. We enjoy films like Four Brothers because they&#39;re fast moving and the underlying theme of respect and honour to the family or family members is what keeps it in that humbling sense, never branching out into some out-and-out glorification of violence being the answer to violence. Of course Singleton is miles away from his post-Second-World-War-Italy inspired neo-realistic roots of grabbing a camera and shooting where you are and what you are for sake of a film, but so what? He knows it and after five minutes, so do we. Instead, Four Brothers is a pretty standard and pretty enjoyable revenge vehicle that gets across its kicks in a knock about fashion, establishing who&#39;s &#39;good&#39; and who&#39;s &#39;bad&#39; and who we should be rooting for and why we should be.<br/><br/>I actually quite like the idea behind the set up and that is that a lone individual in Bobby Mercer (Wahlberg) returns home after a stretch away and sees everything differently to what it was before. The reason he was away has to do with being in prison a few times, it usually does in these films, and I like the idea of an individual coming back and seeing things through a new perspective. It actually reminded me of Neil Jordan&#39;s 1986 film Mona Lisa as his lead, played by Bob Hoskins, returns to a now Thatcher ruled Britain and sees everything different and for the worse since he&#39;d been inside. But Bobby is a guy that refuses to accept that time can just move on with obligatory changes being a part of it all. Despite pleads from the police to allow them to do their job, the film branches off into a tale of the vigilante with Bobby and his three other brothers named Jeremiah (Benjamin); Jack (Hedlund) and Angel (Gibson) hunting for some killers.<br/><br/>The reason for the pooling together of all these elements is to do with the four boys&#39; mother named Evelyn (Flanagan), who was shot as part of a store robbery. The immediate act of throwing the audience into the cauldron by having the murder of an elderly, defenceless lady is a deliberate move by Singleton. By plunging us headfirst into a film that has no prior pleasantries or introductions bar the fact Evelyn was a nice and somewhat upstanding and understanding woman (she lets a kid off shoplifting) before mercilessly popping her off, results in the audience building up such a degree of hate towards the evil-doers that we may well allow anything to fly when the time comes. This is prolonged during the scene in which each brother sits around the dinner table and sees their mother while communicating to her in their own way emphasising she is gone and this may have happened many times in the past but never again.<br/><br/>In this sense, it&#39;s quite manipulative of Singleton to attempt to try and get us to side with the vigilantes to this gross level as they wreck a nasty revenge culminating in a scene most revenge films would save for their finale. The film is a revenge picture of sorts with that nicely grooved cause and effect ideation behind it as they try to find the robbers/murderers but it&#39;s only for so long. Remember that nobody seems to be avenging the store clerk and I guess the brothers couldn&#39;t care less about the fact a store was knocked off in the process with all the distress that brings. When the film realises its delivered its finale after thirty or so minutes, it branches off into territory to do with corruption and betrayal when it emerges a large sum of money was involved in the insurance to do with Evelyn&#39;s death – the film takes a detour down questioning one&#39;s loyalties.<br/><br/>What escalates from here involves a local kingpin gangster named Victor Sweet (Ejiofor) who carries an overall message to do with something like &#39;if you ever find yourself achieving that level of power, do not abuse it&#39; in the way he does by relying on favours and liabilities with your faithful subjects. A scene where he asks to &#39;borrow&#39; his friend&#39;s wife soon before they&#39;re to be married sums this up best.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t think Four Brothers is anything spectacular but its method of disguising vigilatism through dealing with it in the film&#39;s opening third before opening out into something else will not ensure the film is on most people&#39;s good side. It&#39;s as if they had to illegally hunt and kill someone in order to open up the bigger picture of corruption and this will not please everyone in its glorification. What it is, is tight mainstream entertainment that passes the time and on that level it works quite well in a dramatic and humbling sense.
With equal measures of rock-the-house vigor and in-your-face attitude, Four Brothers proves usually potent and consistently enjoyable as an old school approach to what might best be described as the urban-Western genre of slam-bang, balls-out action-revenger.
