"Evelyn was in this city for a long time. She saw a lot that was terrible, but she stayed hopeful. She still believed that things were getting better, sometimes despite all evidence. And that's a hard thing to do, stay hopeful. Even when you can't find a reason."

Four Brothers is a gripping, gritty, brutal, emotionally powerful action-packed urban drama from Oscar-nominated director... read more

I have noticed that this movie is quite popular here on Listal and in general and it is indeed a decent action/drama but nothing more than that, I'm afraid. I wonder if the viewers who love this movie have seen Singleton's directing debut 'Boyz n the Hood'. John Singleton was only 24 years old when he made this movie and became the youngest man ever nominated for Best director academy award. I mea... read more

Four Brothers is not even 3/10 of the film it calls itself. It was as if they had been saving all the energy - pre-production - to pack some serious wallop or to give a good beating, but during production instead settled down on simple punches and kicks that only do moderate damage. It was supposed to be an angry-revenge film, a no holds barred one, or at least that's the impression they wanted to... read more

It was supposed to be an angry-revenge film, a no holds barred one, or at least that's the impression they wanted to give, but instead gave us rather unconvincing sympathetic scenes and unnecessary racist moments that had no intention of being there in the first place. The plot is devilishly simple, the characters are standard, generic, and in the first 20-or-so minutes we're under the impression it's gonna be unique, but are quickly betrayed of that thought once it passes the aforementioned mark.

Anatomy of the Remake (113 movies items)

"7 STARS vs 8 STARS A very loose remake but a remake all the same. The newer version is captivating in it's own way but how do you top John Wayne and Dean Martin w/ Wahlberg and Gibson. One notable thing about the sequel is Andre Benjamin."

" TV (RECORDED TO DVR) / REWATCH (I think) Date watched: 19th February, 2013 Project: None Why?: Wasn't sure if I'd watched this yet. Director: John Singleton Thoughts: Fun film. A bit clunky here and there, but it was ok. "
