Movie Review by B Movie Ben
January 2nd, 2008

They set Mom up. They set her up.

There isn't a lot of story here. Four brothers come home for mom's funeral and find some suspicious facts that cause them to kick ass and take names. Or, did they take the names before they kicked ass? It doesn't matter. The movie starred some great names and had plenty of action for those who love action movies.

Check it out: Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, The Perfect Storm), André Benjamin (Idlewild), Tyrese Gibson (Baby Boy, Flight of the Phoenix), Sofía Vergara (one of Maxim's "100 Sexiest Women"), Garrett Hedlund (Eragon, Troy), Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow, Crash), Chiwetel Ejiofor (American Gangster, Children of Men), and Taraji P. Henson (Hustle & Flow, Baby Boy). What a cast for an action movie! Only criticism: When a film advertises nudity, I do NOT want to see some guys butt as the only nudity in the film. Cheesh!

This one cracked me up, especially the younger white brother and his death scene. I swear to this day that Singleton was making a tongue-in-cheek blaxploitation movie and no one really caught on.

I mean.... I hope he was. If he was, then the movie is great. If he wasn't, then it was just sad.

This was the film that made me start to like Mark Wahlberg......he was a real badass in this one....I agree about the nudity thing!
