The Mercer brothers reunite to avenge the murder of their adoptive mother.
John Wayne would love this film, retelling the story of one of his finest film's, sons of katie elder i think it was called, i picked it up straight away and really enjoyed the film, the kids keep asking who john wayne was, so it's going to cost me a few quid in dvd's. as for the film great tension building stuff even though i knew the story,kids and the mrs loved it,. wahlberg was excellent as was gibson,
Great film, classic story, well acted.
Superb stoy, well acted and executed.
Mark wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson and co-actors perform brilliantly in this nicely paced action film about 4 adopted brothers from mixed races who's mother gets gunned down in a so called corner shop robbery. When the 4 brothers come together for the funeral they soon figure out that this was no 'real' robbery but that there was something else going on. They now start to investigate why their mother was shot and this leads to wonderful action scenes and superb dialogue between the characters.
My partner, who normally never watches movies of this genre said it was an excellent film which proved that the makers have got the balance right with this file and will definately appeal to both men and women.
Enjoyment of the highest scale very good for a film night in.
I Would have a think about letting the kids watch it though(depending on age), as some scenes can be pretty violent.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

When their beloved foster mother is killed in a holdup, four tough brothers reunite in their old Detroit neighbourhood with revenge on their minds. Mark Wahlberg plays the brawl-hungry leader, Bobby. His brother, Angel (Tyrese Gibson), is a rowdy sailor with a high-strung Latina girlfriend (Sofi Vergara). Garrett Hedlun plays the young rock and roller of the clan. And Outkast's Andre 3000, Benjamin, is the family man whose tenuous mob connection may link him to the killers. Director John Singleton ably blends his action skills (SHAFT, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS) and his gift for capturing the warm heart at the centre of violent urban masculinity (BABY BOY, BOYZ N THE HOOD) to create a cooked-to-perfection gangster stew. A soundtrack jammed with 1970s Motown classics roots everything firmly in the gritty tradition of the best of that decade's blaxploitation and urban revenge thrillers. Action highlights include a skidding car chase through snowy streets, some rough street hockey, and a bullet-intensive neighbourhood shoot-out. With its talented, likeable cast, clever plotting, and sharp dialogue, this is a real crowd-pleaser that nonetheless doesn't shy away from depictions of street violence. There's not an ounce of fat on it no extraneous romance, and no going straight at the end. Terrence Howard (HUSTLE & FLOW) is the well-meaning but ineffectual detective who tries to put a lid on the boys' rebelliousness. The spirits of Dirty Harry and Charles Bronson should be proud, and action fans will be well pleased.
Mark Wahlberg stars in this revenge thriller. When their mother is murdered during a hold-up in a local grocery store, her four adopted sons decide to take the law into their own hands and find the man responsible for the crime. As they investigate, they discover that Jeremiah's (Andre Benjamin) dealings with a local criminal (Chiwetel Ejiofor) may have something to do with the case, and that the two policemen investigating the murder may not be quite what they seem.
