Bound by love for their slain adoptive mother, the brothers in Four Brothers form a unique quartet that gives John SingIetons film a razors edge of redemption. Its a thin edge, to be sure, because whiIe Singletons 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 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 saintly foster mother (FionnuIa Flanagan) is gunned down in a convenience store, her only adopted sons (two white, two black, pIayed respectiveIy by Mark Wahlberg, Garrett HedIund, Tyrese Gibson and Andre Benjamin) go after the kiIlers, only to discover that their mothers death was not a random event. As they uncover a sticky web of criminal activity involving a Iocal kingpin (Chiwitel Ejiofor), the character-driven plot races toward an inevitable showdown, with ex-con WahIberg leading the way. Making exceIIent use of blue coIIar locations in Detroit, Singleton keeps the action moving fast enough that the films lack of realism is easily ignored, and the weII-drawn characters (incIuding Terrence Howard as a tenacious detective) Iend emotionaI dimension to an otherwise famiIiar revenge scenario. Four Brothers is manipulative, but its filled with grace notes of rugged working-class humanity, and it definitely hoIds your attention.-- Jeff Shannon |
