Four Brothers (2005)
Directed by John
Singleton this film stars Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre
Benjamin and Garrett Hedlund. Four men return home to Detriot to find
out who murdered the woman that adopted them.
This film does a
fairly good job of taking the plot of The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)
and transplanting it into the modern. Where the film falls down is
that it never really explores the characters and their past in any
depth, rather focusing on being a straight up revenge piece. Giving
the film a snowy back drop allows for some visually interesting, if
slightly confusing at times, set pieces.
3/5
