Product Description

When their beloved foster mother is killed in a holdup four tough brothers reunite in their old Detroit neighbourhood with revenge on their minds Mark Wahlberg plays the brawl-hungry leader Bobby His brother Angel (Tyrese Gibson) is a rowdy sailor with a high-strung Latina girlfriend (Sofi Vergara) Garrett Hedlun plays the young rock & roller of the clan & Outkast&s Andre 3000 Benjamin is the family man whose tenuous mob connection may link him to the killers Director John Singleton ably blends his action skills (SHAFT 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS) & his gift for capturing the warm heart at the centre of violent urban masculinity (BABY BOY BOYZ N THE HOOD) to create a cooked-to-perfection gangster stew A soundtrack jammed with 1970s Motown classics roots everything firmly in the gritty tradition of the best of that decade&s blaxploitation & urban revenge thrillers Action highlights include a skidding car chase through snowy streets some rough street hockey & a bullet-intensive neighbourhood shoot-out With its talented likeable cast clever plotting & sharp dialogue this is a real crowd-pleaser that nonetheless doesn&t shy away from depictions of street violence There&s not an ounce of fat on it no extraneous romance & no going straight at the end Terrence Howard (HUSTLE & FLOW) is the well-meaning but ineffectual detective who tries to put a lid on the boys& rebelliousness The spirits of Dirty Harry & Charles Bronson should be proud & action fans will be well pleased
