Talent in front of and behind the camera
The cast of Four brothers it is composed, around its star Mark Wahlberg, young talents on the rise to embody these four adoptive brothers together. Mark Wahlberg is Bobby, a former hockey player turned criminal, rapper and actor. André Benjamin is Jeremiah, a father who works in construction, and Tyrese Gibson is Angel, a former Marine turned con artist. Finally, the youngest of this unmatched brotherhood, the aspiring musician Jack, is played by Garrett Hedlund. We note the presence in front of them of Terrence Howard, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sofia Vergara.
All this great casting provides solid performances for a film that decides to follow through with its idea. Four brotherswhose influence we feel blaxploitationit is in fact directed by John Singleton, first African-American director to be nominated for an Oscar for best director For Boyz’n the Hood in 1992, and the youngest director in film history to be nominated for this award.
For John Singleton, determined to denounce racism and explore the history of African-American masculinity in his films, Four brothers It’s the perfect opportunity to deliver breathtaking entertainment as an in-depth chronicle of American society through a deep dive into the city of Detroit, IN its violence, its corruption and its precariousness.
Thereby, Four brothers it is as brutal as it is very generous in the multiple themes addressed, and must be (re)discovered without hesitation to rediscover the pleasure of these action detective films of the 2000s that have not held back their ambition, as was also the case, for example, Training day.
