Four Brothers Movie Review 2005

Urban remake of "The Sons of Katie Elder." Ma Mercer (Flanagan) is gunned down in a Detroit market hold-up, which brings her four adopted sons, two white and two black, to reunite and avenge her not-so-accidental death, leading to an elaborate conspiracy implicating the upper echelons of Motor City politics. For all its action scenes, violence and verbal ugliness, the final result is disappointing.
