[.ca] Four Brothers [HD DVD]

The Funky Bunch.:
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.
