Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Great Film overall

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Did they ever reveal why the mother was killed? They kept saying it was a hit, but I don't think they ever said why someone put a hit on her. Also, her death totally did not look like a hit. It looked like two guys came in to rob a convenience store and she was shot because she was there and was a witness. It seemed like the two robbers didn't know she was actually in the store until she gasped after seeing them shoot the clerk. I don't want to go back and watch the movie again to find out because it was not a movie that I would go back and re-watch. I thought the movie was good until I realized that the plot did not make a whole lot of sense. Maybe they did reveal why there was a hit on her, but to me, the movie did not make it clear enough. Probably would not have paid much attention to the movie, while watching it, if not for Mark Wahlberg and Andre 3000.

OK before I get started I would just like to say this is a must watch film! Four Brothers is a Amazing film one of the best of all time for me the action and drama to the film is just right and it clearly shows all characters clearly without misguidance. The camera quality is clear and in HD so details are perfect. The sound quality is clear and no problems. And also the film has amazing cast which makes the film four brothers connect you to story so much more. I don't usually like to watch a film more than once but i can tell you now that this film would make me sit down and watch it anytime. You will not regret sitting down watching this film.

John Singleton's "Four Brothers" (2005) takes place in Detroit, Michigan. The first scene starts out with an elderly, good natured woman lecturing a young man about stealing candy from the local convenience store. As soon as the boy leaves two robbers enter the store and proceed to shoot Evelyn Mercer (Fionnula Flanagan) dead. Shortly after the killing her four sons: Bobby (Mark Walhberg), Angel (Tyrese Gibson), Jeremiah (Andre Benjamin), and Jack (Garrett Hedlund) return for her funeral. After reviewing the footage of the shooting the boys begin to investigate further. The police blatantly tell the brothers to stay out of the investigation. After they interrogate the only witness to the crime, Damien (Lyriq Bent), they begin to realize that this was no ordinary robbery. A hit was ordered on their foster mother for asking questions about her son Jeremiah's latest business deal. Now they come to the conclusion that the police may know more than they are letting on. They decide to take whatever actions are necessary to see that justice is served."Four Brothers" seems to be centered on revenge, with some underlying western morals. The director shows that in some people's eyes revenge is sometimes justifiable. The world is not always black and white; there are gray areas in between. It also showcases the extent of unsolved crimes in Detroit. The characters in the film are out for revenge because a good, kind hearted woman for whom they cared is murdered. The director shows that some people will go to any length to see that justice is served how they see fit.I found this film appealing because the story is about vigilante justice. The subject of vigilante justice is attractive to me because I constantly read about unsolved crimes in the news. Bad things happen to good people all the time and nothing is done about it. In the movie the police appear to be uninterested in catching Evelyn Mercer's killers. I feel like often the police feel that matters are not as serious as the victim feels they are. By the end of "Four Brothers" the bad guys got their just desserts.

This is a great modern twist on the John Wayne and Dean Martin classic - "The Sons of Katie Elder." Loved Mark Wahlberg's update of John Wayne's character, Outcast's Andre 3000 is great with his take on Dean Martin's character, and Garret Hedlund's take on Michael Anderson Jr's original is simply masterful. The teasing of Jack Mercer is a dead ringer to that of Bud Elder. The direction is outstanding and it is almost exactly identical of Henry Hathaway's where he just let the actors "do what they do" and the dialogue will just developed naturally. I absolutely recommend seeing this movie as well as "The Sons of Katie Elder."
