FOUR BROTHERS

Fopii

FOUR BROTHERSThe seemingly random murder of their adoptive mother in a convenience store sends four brothers from Detroit on the path of vengeance when they uncover a tangled criminal web involving a local kingpin.
After Evelyn Mercer's funeral, the brothers return to their childhood home and notice things are exactly the same as they remember them. Angel and Jack take their old rooms and begin to unpack while Bobby attempts to do the same in Evelyn's room but finds the atmosphere unbearable and breaks down while the sounds of 'I Wish It Would Rain' by The Temptations fills the house. 'Too weird in Mom's room?' asks Jack. 'Real weird.' replies Bobby. The next day the brothers spend time catching up, watching hockey, throwing playful jabs at one another and laughing before having Thanksgiving dinner. Each brother looks toward the empty seat that Evelyn occupied and has different thoughts about things Evelyn previously said to them. Jeremiah hears her ask him to chew with his mouth closed; Angel hears her notice his new tattoos and begins to cover them until Evelyn shows him a tattoo on her right shoulder; Jack hears her tell him that although bad things happened to him before he came to her, he will be safe now.

Originally under the impression the crime was a simple "robbery-gone-wrong", the brothers soon discover that the robbery was merely a cover for what was, in fact, a "hit" put out on their beloved mother. After this revelation, Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), Angel (Tyrese Gibson), Jeremiah (Andre Benjamin) and Jack Mercer (Garrett Hedlund) track down the hired guns via the alleged "witness", named Damian (Lyriq Bent) who was paid by the hitmen. Damian gave up the location of the hitmen after falling and badly injuring his leg. The brothers then approach the contract killers at a bar, which leads to an intense car chase. The assassins are eventually cornered and, refusing to say anything, are unceremoniously executed by Bobby and Angel.

The next day, Lt. Green and Detective Fowler (Josh Charles) confront the brothers about the murder. Fowler, losing his head, claims Bobby's hair was found on the victims—to which Bobby responds is "an old one (trick)"—knowing it was a lie. Lt. Green warns them once again, telling them that their snooping is ill-advised, and that it will eventually put them in over their heads.

Four Brothers (2005) is an action crime film directed by John Singleton.
