Bound by love for their slain adoptive mother, the brothers in Four Brothers form a unique quartet that gives John Singleton's film a razor's edge of redemption. It's a thin edge, to be sure, because while Singleton's urban Western pays homage to the Blaxpoitation films of the '70s (as he did with his remake of Shaft), it walks a fine line of credibility with a mythic vengeance plot (recalling John Wayne's 1965 hit The Sons of Katie Elder) that endorses violence as the last resort of a family under siege. When a saintly foster mother (Fionnula Flanagan) is gunned down in a convenience store, her only adopted sons (two white, two black, played respectively by Mark Wahlberg, Garrett Hedlund, Tyrese Gibson and Andre Benjamin) go after the killers, only to discover that their mother's death was not a random event. As they uncover a sticky web of criminal activity involving a local kingpin (Chiwitel Ejiofor), the character-driven plot races toward an inevitable showdown, with ex-con Wahlberg leading the way. Making excellent use of blue collar locations in Detroit, Singleton keeps the action moving fast enough that the film's lack of realism is easily ignored, and the well-drawn characters (including Terrence Howard as a tenacious detective) lend emotional dimension to an otherwise familiar revenge scenario. Four Brothers is manipulative, but it's filled with grace notes of rugged working-class humanity, and it definitely holds your attention. --Jeff Shannon

very good product. 13 items bought at the same time, combined shipping was not considered. shipping for 13 dvd's was $35.00 which is outrageous. there shipping cost was $8.00 ........ should improve the combined shipping policy........ would buy more items from you if shipping was not so un-reasonable.

After their adoptive mother is murdered during a grocery store hold-up, the Mercer brothers--hotheaded Bobby, hard-edged Angel, family man and businessman Jeremiah, and hard rocking Jack--reunite to take the matter of her death into their own hands. As they track down the killer, they quickly realize that their old ways of doing business have new consequences. Tis movie is fast, funny and often furious, yet solidly entertaining.
great action movie!!!! September 22, 2009
Adam Peace (Chino, CA)
I'm surprised to see this movie with an average review of 3 and a half stars. This is a great movie with lots of action and a great story line! Plus Mark Wahlberg is in it, and he really doesn't make a bad movie! There are some really cool guns in the movie, and a very awesome shootout that lasts about 5 minutes. If you like lots of action including fist fights, and gun action, you will really like this movie. The only reason this movie didn't get 5 stars in my opinion is that some of the actors could have done a better job in playing their character. But Mark Wahlberg is very good! rated R for violence and language.

Four Brothers is a 4 Star DVD July 24, 2009
alex fryling (erie pa)
Four Brothers takes the drama to your TV. When I bought this movie I thought there was going to be more action in it but it was more of a thriller, action and drama mixed into one. All four main actors delivered and I liked the fact that the mixed up the race 2 whites and blacks so it made the movie have different personalities and backgrounds. Also each brother had a different background but I thought it was cool how each brother was there to have each other's back. Even after the one brother ended up getting killed that's when they really came together. Lots of good fighting and action scenes I liked the end when they decided to bury the guy alive under the ice. Overall four brothers is a great movie and if you can pick it up for $9.99 that would be a good pick up and I'll go with 4 out of 5 stars DVD.
