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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2023

Singleton. bereft of serious ideas if not visceral talent. now appears to have nothing more to offer than plenty of bang for your buck.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 26, 2019

Feels like a nervous student's heavily footnoted thesis film.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 20, 2011

Four Brothers tries to mix the revenge quest with the drama of the four boys finding and learning about each other again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 22, 2011

[Director] Singleton is back in rare form with a very good remake...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 14, 2007

...a welcome throwback to the sort of over-the-top actioners that were prevalent twenty years ago.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 10, 2007

Adds a uniquely repugnant concept to the notion of dysfunctional, in what seems like a warped underlying fraternal creed of, a family that preys together stays together.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2006

A healty mixture of action, humor and sentiment...one of the most sheerly enjoyable popcorn movies of the summer.

| Original Score: B | Feb 21, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 7, 2006

Formula filmmaking through and through, but it's brought home with just enough grit, gusto, and emotion to keep you suitably entertained.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2005

I liked the film's first act, which consisted of lots of snow and character development, I enjoyed its second act, which started to get into the nitty-gritty of its revenge plot, but I only tolerated its final act.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 23, 2005

Tight and resolutely genre specific, Four Brothers delivers what as a Hollywood product it promises and holds our attention with its classy craftsmanship

| Nov 3, 2005

Mostly enjoyable thriller with strong performances and a couple of terrific action sequences, though it loses a star for its nose-dive into bad movie territory towards the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2005

"Good to see Singleton returning to his roots. Wahlberg and co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Andre Benjamin give good performances".

Full Review | Sep 30, 2005

Swiftly dissolves into a litany of brutally sadistic acts knotted together by a feeble whodunnit plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2005

O roteiro supera as expectativas do gênero, revelando-se bem amarrado e infinitamente mais complexo do que parece a princípio.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2005

The only performance that kind of works is the one from Chiwetel Ejiofor as the central bad guy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 10, 2005

The brothers take a few moments in reflective nostalgia, then springboard into a film of head banging revenge.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2005
