And Published 1 month ago

Mark Wahlberg’s long career in Hollywood is fascinating, including iconic Boogie Nights, Cult Ted, And more than a few straight bomb that would have destroyed any other star’s career, looking at you, Max Payne. Buried in the middle of his career as he left indie films for blockbusters but before transformer, lies Four brothersDirector of John Singleton’s Starry Room revenge thriller. Wahlberg is at its best when he is part of the band, what is the secret reason why this caught movie is one of his best.

One murder, four brothers

Wahlberg plays Bobby Mercer, the oldest of the four brothers, all raised by Evelyn Mercer (Fionula Flanagan) after their own family broke up. Tying Gibson, Fresh worked with Singleton 2 Fast 2 Furious, is Angel Mercer, Andre Benjamin (Outkast singer Andre 3000) plays Jeremiah Mercer and the youngest, Jack Mercer, play Garret Hedlund, long before TRON: LEGACY. The brothers merge after Evelyn has been shot down, placing them on a revenge path that leads them directly to the local crime boss, the chiwetel ejiofor, which happens to be most of the detrigit.

Like a normal family, four brothers notice that when they grew up, they didn’t have much in common. At first, they can’t even agree on how to take revenge on their mother. Bobby is a criminal, Angel is a Marines, Jeremiah enjoys a quiet life with his family, and Jack is still a child, but they put their disagreement aside and gather to dismantle the Detroit criminal underground and take a few corrupt police and politicians.

Four brothers to divide the spotlight

She gets the best billing, and Bobby gets up as a leader, but Mark Wahlberg takes the back seat Tyeria Gibson and Andre Benjamin for the movie to stretch and share Focus, Four brothers Take advantage of Wahlberg’s exact time. Unlike Shooter and Max PayneHis Schtick has no time to expire. A little Marky Mark goes a long way.

Even a sturdy actor is full of familiar faces, including Terrence Howard, preModern family Sofia VergaraTaraji P. Henson and one of the biggest “that guy” in Hollywood, Josh Charles, the name you do not recognize, but the face and sound you are immediately placed. Four brothers All in all, making every presentation, and Singleton manages to make everyone feel important, an achievement that the most important Blockbuster franchise is still struggling.

Four brothers was not a critical hit, and today it is playing a 53 % rating Rotten tomatoes from critics. However, those who really matter are the audience gives it a much higher 80 % value.

I know that message Four brothers is one of Mark Wahlberg’s best because it doesn’t put him forward and in the middle may feel polite in the back, but here, here Lahti– Pain– The perfect storm, Italian workand even Boogie nights are all the same way. Colin Farrell noticed that he was not meant to be a traditional leading man, and as he embraced him with the right roles, prizes and critical popularity soon. There is still hope for Wahlberg.
