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

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.

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.

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.

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