Four brothers The idea of the film is not new. As our distributors tried and managed to translate “4 Brothers” into the essence of the film – “Blood for Blood” – that is, a film about revenge. However, the events in the film do not quite follow the standard pattern. At first. In the end, everything unfolds as in ordinary American gangster fighters.
Here are four brothers coming together because of the death of their mother, who adopted them, re-educated them and made them human. However, there is no regret and sympathy for the brothers, because a woman is killed at the very beginning of the film and penetrate into her image, to understand how much she meant to them – do not have time.
That's why you're waiting for four men to take out bats and pistols and go to lynch. And it begins. But somehow all this is done vaguely and incomprehensible to the mind. Not logically or incorrectly.
What am I talking about? I don’t know what’s going on in the movie. As if the theater of a few actors, the living world does not exist. Where's the police? Why do guys so freely and calmly create lawlessness in not a small city of Detroit?
Actors selected for the main roles, nothing. But Wahlberg is an extra in this gang. Well, he can't be a serious gangsta. He looks more like a collective farmer with a good face. And this last scene of the fight between the big villain and Wahlberg left me laughing. Well, how's that tough guy, real authority gonna fight on fists? And in general, this criminal authority is not like that at all. He should have seen movies like Scarface or The Godfather. He was not very convincing about his subordinates. It is strange why they did not want to overthrow him for a long time and without money.
In general, they wanted to make a serious film, and it turned out a children's comedy with admixtures of serious chases and shootouts. I don’t talk about dialogue because it’s nothing. What's worth watching this movie for? I don't know.
