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

Loud, stupid, unrealistic, overdone, without a thought in its ugly little head and kind of enjoyable.

Unremarkably schizophrenic -- half gritty sojourn into the inner-city furnace, half Hollywood brain death.

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.

As long as the action snaps and the violence feels (somewhat) righteous, there'll always be a place for movies such as Four Brothers -- on rainy Saturdays, on TNT.

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

The sometimes absurd Brothers works only on a larger-than-life level. But on that level, the zest is back.

If Four Brothers spent half as much energy making us feel something for its heroes as it spent making us feel nothing for their victims, it would be a far better, and far more engaging, film.

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.

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

Four Brothers is a violent, macho story with a perfect feel for the dynamics between four tough guys who will do anything for each other.
