I watched this movie for the 4th time tonite. Somehow, there's something bout this movie , that has never failed to keep me glued to the seat. You could read about the synopsis here, in their official website, and keep on reading here to find out what kept me glued from the start ( i dont really do spoilers ;P )
Anyway, i guess you could say that mark wahlberg(Bobby Mercer) has been given the same kind of character since his not-really-hit movie "The Big Hit". But i guess he has this kind of persona or suitable identity as cop-criminal-gang leader type. Tyrese(Angel Mercer) acting could improve. He got the talent but still havent got that *ummph* to make him as lead actor. Andre(Jeremiah Mercer) of the OutKast on the other hand was given a rather laid back character. His on and off appearance in the movie didnt bring that much of impact. But same could not be told of Garret's character(Jack Mercer). He played the youngest of the brothers with a sensitive touch. The older brothers were very protective when it comes to him. So, you would somehow feel involved in their grief when deadly event befallen him in the movie.(I 1st noticed him when he starred in Friday Night Lights)
sure, the main focus of this movie is about vengence. but it is not all about actions, shootings and what not. i like the brotherly love that the movie portrayed and i'd say all the 4 main actors had developed sumkinda brotherhood-bond between themselves. they really played their roles well. a few witty+cynical+funny lines+scenes also kept the movie *perky* once in a while. But i have to hand it to the director, John Singleton. His shots and drama intensity was just superb.
If you are into vengence+cool moves+cynical jokes, well then, what are u waiting for???
Oh, did i mention drama intensity with all the shootings and actions involved? :P
Rating : 7.5/10
