Four Brothers


On theThursday(Aug.18th), following Save The Green Planet, Pslam, Scoop and myself went to see a throwback movie.

That movie was Four Brothers.

Do you like the 70's?
Do you like movies?
Do you like revenge?
Do you like revenge movies from the 70's?
Then my friend this movie for you.

Lemme just get this outta the way first. I loooooooved this flick.

It's a nice revenge flick.
An old lady is gunned down in a robbery in a corner store, thus bringing her four (adopted) children back together. They decide to find the killers themselves.

The movie proper starts out with a car trailing the camera with some 70's tunes playing.
Classic. Sets the mood.
As I said earlier, its a throwback film.
The soundtrack is mostly classics, including 4 Marvin Gaye tracks, and a few new tracks.
I'm trying to think of things that I din't like about this movie, but nothing comes to mind. Took to long to write this it seems. Good excuse to see it again.

This flick hit the spot. It was what I was looking for.
Everybody fit their roles. Nobody stuck out like a sore thumb.
Andre 3000 was good, better than in Be Cool. But that movie suuuucked.
Marky Mark was great as the leader of the group.
Tyrese was smooth as the playa.
The latina chick was smokin'.
The bad guy was evil.
Terence Howard makes a show as a cop that knew the boys from their childhood and he as always grounds the movie in its' reality.
The people that you were supposed to root for, you did .
The people that you were supposed to hate, you did.
When this movie was done, you just wanna go bust some heads.
In a good way.

I'll update this review, once I get my head screwed on properly. Hopefully by next week.
