Four Brothers

What usually happens when you let your girlfriend go to the Video shop for you?

She usually arrives back with "The magic princess who started out as just a simple secretary but was turned beautiful Part 2 - Featuring J-Lo."

So when I saw the film "Four Brothers" sat on the kitchen table last night, this is what went through my head,

"Uh, that's that film with OutKast and the Model and Marky Mark in it"

I've been successfully avoiding this film - and I've been quite happy to do so as I didn't think it held anything for me. So imagine my surprise when I was suitably impressed with the entire film!

Set in the dreary backdrop of Detroit in winter this revenge film rises above the rest by not trying to be too clever, but not dumbing down too much either - there's credible performances from André Benjamin and Tyrese whatshisname - whilst Mark Whalberg is as usual fairly sturdy.

One thing however, and it's purely personal - I don't like Terrance Howard - I just don't trust him.

The music to this film is a clear homáge to the motown music that stemmed from Detroit, and whilst not always suiting the scenes it is in, it gives an element of class to the film.

All in all, this film does exactly what it says on the tin - entertains and doesn't leave you feeling like you've wasted any time in watching it.

Wearnz!
