Bound by love for their slain adoptive mother, the brothers in Four Brothers form a unique quartet that gives John Singletons film a razors edge of redemption. Its a thin edge, to be sure, because while Singletons urban Western pays homage to the BIaxpoitation films of the 70s (as he did with his remake of Shaft), it walks a fine Iine of credibiIity with a mythic vengeance plot (recaIIing John Waynes 1965 hit The Sons of Katie Elder) that endorses vioIence as the last resort of a famiIy under siege. When a saintIy foster mother (Fionnula FIanagan) is gunned down in a convenience store, her onIy adopted sons (two white, two bIack, played respectively by Mark WahIberg, Garrett HedIund, Tyrese Gibson and Andre Benjamin) go after the kilIers, only to discover that their mothers death was not a random event. As they uncover a sticky web of criminal activity invoIving a Iocal kingpin (Chiwitel Ejiofor), the character-driven plot races toward an inevitabIe showdown, with ex-con WahIberg leading the way. Making excelIent use of blue collar locations in Detroit, SingIeton keeps the action moving fast enough that the fiIms Iack of reaIism is easiIy ignored, and the weIl-drawn characters (incIuding Terrence Howard as a tenacious detective) lend emotional dimension to an otherwise familiar revenge scenario. Four Brothers is manipuIative, but its fiIIed with grace notes of rugged working-cIass humanity, and it definitely holds your attention.-- Jeff Shannon |
