The plot is actually quite lively. Starting from the seemingly simple robbery and murder case in which an old lady was killed in a supermarket, she described her four sons coming back from all over to attend her funeral, and then found that the murder case was not as simple as the police description. , Finally discovered the cause of the case and the real culprit, and avenged his mother. Although there is nothing new in this plot, there is still an article that can be done. Unfortunately, the film's director skills are not enough. As the case gradually came to light under the investigation of the four brothers, the cards were revealed too quickly, making The suspense of the first half of the plot disappeared all at once, and the last 30 minutes of the film quickly fell into a cliché. The audience waited for the four brothers to clean up the bad guys and leave the theater.
The film’s way of explaining the life of the dead old lady is the most successful part of the film. At the beginning of the film, an old lady used a clever trick to teach a black child not to steal, so that the audience had a preliminary understanding of the old lady. Acknowledgment, this is a lovely and kind-hearted good old lady, and then in the description of the four brothers by the black police, when the old lady was found to be a good person similar to a saint, the evil deeds used by the four brothers for revenge suddenly appeared in the audience. In addition to the emotional foundation of sympathy, and the background of Thanksgiving, the memories of the four brothers of their mothers exaggerated the atmosphere of revenge. There was also the scene when the police warned the four brothers not to use private means to solve the problem but to the police. Conflict in the drama is full of tension, but this tension disappears after the bad guys voluntarily send it to the door.
That's it, the film is ordinary, there are not many descriptions of black crime and racial conflicts and it is not the focus of the film, so I won't mention it. 2.5 stars is almost the same.
Ps. The director also directed Fast and Furious II and SHAFT Killing Men.
