If you can overcome the graphic nature of its casual violence, it is a lot of fun. The banter among the brothers is well-written and has a genuine fraternal feel to it. And the chases and shootouts have a fresh malevolence to them.

L.A. Weekly
It's a finely tuned Motor City engine: The action, including a nighttime car chase through a blinding snowstorm, is fast, brutal and efficient; the Motown soundtrack never cuts out; and as a gangster called Sweet, the British-Nigerian actor Chiwetel Ejiofor gives an electrifying performance.

Easily the best 1975 B-movie made in 2005, Four Brothers is a raucously entertaining vigilante film.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The casting is hit-and-miss. OutKast's Benjamin and "Troy's" Hedlund are weak, but Gibson is very appealing and the movie powers along on a strong lead performance by Wahlberg, who has never seemed more confident, commanding or scruffily charismatic.

Washington Post
For all its well-drawn lines between good and evil, Four Brothers is ultimately passive entertainment.
38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The director's approach is far too ham-fisted and erratic to bring Four Brothers up to the level of enjoyable trash -- it's too crummy to earn that distinction.

Four Brothers? Ringling Brothers is more like it, because John Singleton's latest stinks like something the elephants left behind. It's not clear what the film is trying to do, but it seems safe to guess that it's doing it wrong.

Four Brothers classic action movie. A simple story about revenge. Good acting by Mark Wahlberg. Once you can see.

A poor movie, with a loose story. The brothers aren't believable, you are thrown from kill to kill with little understanding as to why they are doing this. The police always seem to be one step behind, which is just not believable with this movie, they brothers aren't expert criminals, just delinquents. Do not watch unless you have a lot of spare time.
