Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

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

Stephanie Zacharek

Gripping: Even when it wobbles off-track, it has some juice to it. Read full review

Joe Leydon

With equal measures of rock-the-house vigor and in-your-face attitude, Four Brothers proves usually potent and consistently enjoyable as an old school approach to what might best be described as the urban-Western genre of slam-bang, balls-out action-revenger. Read full review

William Arnold

The casting is hit-and-miss. OutKast's Benjamin and "Troy's" Hedlund are weak, but Gibson is very appealing and the movie powers along on a strong lead performance by Wahlberg, who has never seemed more confident, commanding or scruffily charismatic. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

For all its well-drawn lines between good and evil, Four Brothers is ultimately passive entertainment. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

More action directors should include scenes such as the Mercers' extended Thanksgiving dinner, which fleshes out the bond between the brothers without using too many words. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Four Brothers? Ringling Brothers is more like it, because John Singleton's latest stinks like something the elephants left behind. It's not clear what the film is trying to do, but it seems safe to guess that it's doing it wrong. Read full review

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

Through the predictable plot lies great performances, incredible story-line and a director that prooves himself great. Stunning material that in end leaves us in total awe.

The movie was well acted, entertaining and the action scenes were well made. Of course, the movie has it's flaws. There are a few plot holes and some events were unbelievable.Four Brothers is not one of the best action dramas out there but it will entertain you from beginning to end.

Four Brothers is a decent action movie but thats about it dont get me wrong i enjoyed the film buts its nothing like John Singleton's first film "Boyz n the Hood" it seems since then he cant really capture the magic that movie had. His latest movie "Abduction" starring Taylor Lautner wasFour Brothers is a decent action movie but thats about it dont get me wrong i enjoyed the film buts its nothing like John Singleton's first film "Boyz n the Hood" it seems since then he cant really capture the magic that movie had. His latest movie "Abduction" starring Taylor Lautner was just unwatchable crap. Still though its the cast that makes this movie watchable Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, André Benjamin, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Garrett Hedlund, Terrence Howard all really likable actors. The story is nothing new but its the solid performances by the actors that keep the movie going. The over the top action cut with witty humor was definitely a fresh feeling from all the other action movies in 2005 which the exception of 2 maybe 3 were terrible.Overall i give it a 6.5 id recommend a watch but its not a movie that i would call a must watch action movie.… Expand

The absolute worst movie of all time. The only explanation is that the actors and directors were drunk and on drugs at the time they made this. Can we request for this film to be permanently erased from human history?
