The film shows that no matter how much of a bad ass a person is, it is perfectly fine to mourn the loss of a loved one and do something about it. The moral the merciless, yet comedic Mercer brothers is family over everything.The reason that their saint-of-a-woman mother adopted them is that no one else would. They were the worst behaved kids in the streets of the Detroit, which is saying something. When people who knew Miss Mercer heard about her death, people were shocked. As Jack, the youngest and most 'innocent' said, "Who would kill the sweetest old lady in the goddamn world?" All of the brothers felt like this. Bobby, the most bad ass, is seen crying in the bathroom the first night back in his childhood home with his brothers. They want revenge for the cold-blooded murder of their mother-at all costs.Four Brothers is a great movie. It consists of guns, death, tear-jerker moments, funny, yet vicious cast, and, best of all, revenge. It leaves you with the following emotions throughout the movie: ready to kill somebody, wanting to cry alone in a dark room, and/or laughing hysterically.

Four brothers is a good by the numbers action movie with just enough story and character development to keep you interested and the right amount of twists/red herrings to make it smart but never trying to be to clever. The movie follows the seemingly random killing of a sweet old woman who just happens to have fostered four of the biggest f**k up hard men you could imagine. As the brothers look into the circumstances of her death they realize her death was not random but orchestrated and covered up by gangsters and cops alike. This movie was never going to trouble the Oscar committee but its a solid 109 minutes of action/revenge movie. featured on Emerald Reprobates pod-cast episode 60

A Movie of Many Tones from Extreme Emotionalism to Visceral Outbursts of Street Level Violence, this Band of Brothers are a Racial and Sexual Orientation Mix of Odd Fellows in Detroit's Dead End Community of Working Class Misfits and Perpetually Falling Snow.Obviously, this has a Cold Feel to it Despite the Many inclusions of Family and Brotherly Love. There are some Missteps like the Basketball Game that comes off as Ludicrous. The Acting is Fine but the Latino Female Character and Her Constant Loud Mouth Yelling and Confrontations with the Brother are Grating and Over the Top.The Revenge Element is Handled with Reckless Abandon that Sometimes Works just Fine, Like the Scene in the Project with Attack Dogs and an Escape Attempt that is Bone Crushing. The Car Chase is Refreshingly Different, but Sometimes the Gun Wielding Swagger can be a Bit too Much to Take.Director John Singleton Seems to be on His Game here and is at Home with the Homeys. Mark Wahlberg doesn't Mumble Much but the Marbles in the Mouth are Evident in a Couple of Scenes. The Movie is an Above Average Character Study with Plenty of Action and a Goodly Amount of Thought.Overall a Winner for the Director and Wahlberg, but the Overrated Terrence Howard got most of the Awards and Critical Attention as a Cop with Connections to the Family. A Picture with a lot More Pathos than Most Movies of This Type. Uneven but Gritty and Violent Enough to Satisfy its Goal as a Deep Discussion on Environment and Noble Intentions Buried in a Storm of Chilling Reality.
