Four Brothers

When their mother is murdered, four adopted brothers roll back into their old Detroit neighborhood, bringing years of distance and a stubborn bond with them. They reunite with a shared need for justice, not revenge, and vow to track down those who harmed her. Each brother carries a different life experience and set of skills, yet they move as a tight unit as they navigate a city full of danger, loyalties, and old feuds. The pursuit pulls them into confrontations with criminals and corrupt figures, forcing them to weigh family loyalties against personal risk. What starts as a vigil becomes a test of trust, courage, and the price of staying united. Its pace stays brisk and the danger feels close.

Released in 2005, Four Brothers was directed by John Singleton from an original screenplay by David Elliot and Paul Lovett. The ensemble includes Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre 3000, Garrett Hedlund, and Terrence Howard, produced on a budget 45 million.

Four Brothers gathered roughly 92.37 million at the worldwide box office on a 45 million budget, signaling solid commercial performance for an action crime tale. The numbers reflect a scale that allowed brisk production and ample marketing for international audiences.

Set in a soaked city, film's focus on four brothers balancing crime and family resonated with fans of action dramas. Wahlberg's Bobby and Andre 3000's Jeremiah stand out as partners who pull together despite paths. The movie helped define a 2000s wave of thrillers and left a mark on loyalty.

Critics gave Four Brothers a mixed reception, praising the ensemble energy and action choreography while noting a routine plot and heavy violence. The film explores family versus blood ties, duty and mercy, and the costs of taking matters into one's own hands. It stands as a solid career action drama.
