Movie Review: "Four Brothers"

It's not that often that you sit there after a movie and think, "That was a good movie. That was a good movie. That was a really good movie." I mean, sure, you say you watched a good movie after watching "The Importance of Being Earnest" or "Con-Air," but to find one that makes you just sit there and think, "Wow," doesn't happen all that often.
This movie does that. It's the story of four (adopted) brothers, whose mother is killed in a convenience store hold-up. They're not exactly the law-abiding citizen types, so when they come home after she dies, it's not just for the funeral. It's to find whoever did it and wipe them off the face of the earth, too.
It was stylized to be a western set in Detroit, and they capture that well. The script is well-written, not over-done (with part of the believability stemming from giving the actors a little bit of freedom to raz each other). The actors do an amazing job being convincing as brothers, and just plain give great performances in general.
Provided you can get past the horrible language and the violence, I highly recommend it. It has a great story, with great movie-making overall.
