    Four Brothers works as an urban thriller, if not precisely as a model of logic.

    It's more than adequate as an old school action movie slightly updated for modern audiences.

    Singleton's sloppiest, laziest movie to date, springing to life in fits and starts, risibly mawkish and occasionally gripping, and often feeling like it was made up on the set.

    This is one of my all time favorite movies. Yeah it may not be the most real movie ever but neither is fast in the furious or transformers. The plot along with some great acting made this movie… Expand

    Well I have to say it sounds like there's some Four Brothers pushin peeps in here trying to sell the movie! I went into it with an open mind and appreciated the plot idea but it soon began to deteriorate. What gets me is why there was such unrealistic stuff put in to ruin the experience when it didn't have to. Like the Store having the Video of the shooting! The Cops would have had it! Also, pulling a gun out during the basketball game and all those witnesses and no one called the cops! These guys are on parole! Also, you guys are talking about there not being any shooting! Are we talking about the same movie? I thought the directing and acting was decent except for Jack the tatooed guy man he was bad (MOMMY) LOL. If there adopted mother was such a great inspiration and role model then why did they turn out so bad! She would have never agreed with what they did! Also, the cops did a lame job at the investigation of the four brothers (Self Defense) LOL! It was funny how they always stayed one step ahead of the cops. If you watch reality shows like "The First 48" on A&E, you would see real life! This movie is typical Hollywood run and gun, over the top, and unrealistic. I'd rather watch Training Day. Pietra, none of this could happen especially with four parolles. And Kiro, I appreciate your opinion but I totally disagree.… Expand
