Four Brothers, 2005, 148 minutes, Rated R 
By Ramona Prioleau

Deeply affected by the murder of their mother, four young men bully their way through the streets of Detroit to punish those responsible for her death. In Four Brothers, John Singleton directs the revenge tale that owes much thematically to the Western genre. The film harkens back to a time when frontier justice was dispensed not by those sworn to protect and serve, but by gun-slinging vigilantes.

Four Brothers combines action, drama and a dose of screwball and low brow humor to mildly entertain. A soundtrack of traditional Motown tunes, the muted colors of an industrial setting and character specific costume design tailored to distinguish the cops, criminals and vigilantes, give the film a 1970's feel.
