Four Brothers

Four adopted brothers return to their Detroit hometown when their mother is murdered and vow to exact revenge on the killers.

Critics were split down the middle on this Detroit revenge thriller, finding the chemistry among the four leads convincing but the film around them too scattered and too brutal to hold together. The vigilante premise struck many as uncomfortably glorified, and the story's thematic ambitions kept pulling in directions it couldn't sustain. Audiences at the time responded more warmly than reviewers did.
