When an inner-city Detroit foster mother (Fionnula Flanagan) is murdered in a botched holdup, four of her now-grown adopted children suspect it was no random killing. Rising musician Jack (Garrett Hedlund), former-Marine Angel (Tyrese Gibson), hotheaded hockey player Bobby (Mark Wahlberg) and settled-down husband and father Jeremiah (André Benjamin) go on the hunt for neighborhood criminal kingpin Victor Sweet (Chiwetel Ejiofor) while being trailed themselves by the local beat cops.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite striking a believable rapport among its principal actors, Four Brothers overwhelms with ultra-violent, vigilante-glorifying action and devolves into too many fractured, insubstantial thematic directions.

Four Brothers | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jan 7, 2006 Full Review Four Brothers | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Neil Smith BBC.com Swiftly dissolves into a litany of brutally sad*stic acts knotted together by a feeble whodunnit plot. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2005 Full Review Four Brothers | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nell Minow Movie Mom An over-violent and under-sincere story that strays from justice past revenge and into mindless vigilantism. Rated: C Aug 21, 2005 Full Review Four Brothers | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal A usually sharp script, a firecracker turn from Chiwetel Ejiofor and a decent amount of suspense and surprise. There are worse directors than John Singleton who have switched focus to B-pictures with the right amount of substance. Rated: 3/4 Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Four Brothers | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Eddie Harrison The List Singleton. bereft of serious ideas if not visceral talent. now appears to have nothing more to offer than plenty of bang for your buck.

Dani G Typical "tough neighborhood" film. More action than I was expecting, though. I thought it would be more of a crime drama Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Sebastian B Very watchable. Avoids too many tropes. Decent acting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Frederick T Very good movie, but ends up being rushed in the end. The idea behind the movie is interesting and has potential, but is ruined by a rushed conclusion and a string of nearly unrealistic gunfights. A longer suspense could have helped significantly and would have loved to see a betrayal by Jeremiah, which could have followed a more intense ending building on the deception of your own brother. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Audience Member Some comedy, action, great plot, amazing actors and chemistry that is spectacular, this movie is entertaining from beggining to end. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Fetti As long as you're not expecting anything in terms of plot or character development, Four Brothers is an entertaining, violent adventure with some solid performances and bonds. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Rebekah J Only watch the preview but i didn't like it Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
