Rough-and-tumble and sometimes raucously funny, "Four Brothers" can't decide if it wants to be a bloody revenge movie or a heartwarming family piece, so it settles on being a bit of both and the heck with smooth transitions.

Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"Fast, funny and often furious, this is what mindless escapism should be."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"This vigilante joyride relishes all sorts of mayhem, but it never even pretends to have anything to do with the real world."
The Palm Beach Post: C+
"The whole movie never escapes its genre roots, although Singleton retains his touch for inner-city action sequences."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"The violence, car chases and abundant profanity speak loudly, so if that's not your thing, then Four Brothers isn't your thing."
