Mark Wahlberg’s long career in Hollywood is fascinating. Boogie night, Cult hit comedy Ted, And some complete bombs that would have seen you and destroyed other stars’ careers, Mac Spain. He was buried in the middle of his career after he left the indie film for a blockbuster, but not before Transformers Four brothersa star-studded revenge thriller directed by John Singleton. Wahlberg is in its best condition when it is part of the ensemble. This is why this overlooked film is his best secret.
One murder, four brothers
Wahlberg plays Bobby Mercer, the oldest of the four brothers. They were all raised by Evelyn Mercer (Fionylla Flanagan) after their own family fell apart. Tyree Gibson is a fresh start after working with Singleton 2 Fast 2 Furious, Angel Mercer, Andre Benjamin (Outkast Singer Andre 3000) plays Jeremiah Mercer, the youngest Jack Mercer, has been played by Garrett Hedland a long time ago Tron: Legacy. The brothers reunited after Evelyn was shot and placed them on a path of revenge that led them directly to the local crime boss Sweets (Cutel Egiofort).
Like a normal family, the four siblings discover that when they grew up, they didn’t have much in common with each other. At first, they can’t even agree on how to revenge their mother. Bobby is a criminal and angel is a Marine. Jeremiah enjoys a quiet life with his family, and Jack is still a child, but they set aside the differences, gathering together to dismantle Detroit’s criminal basements and defeat a few corrupt policemen and politicians along the way.
Four brothers share the spotlight
He gets the best bill and Bobby appears as the leader, but Mark Wahlberg takes the back seat to Tyleze Gibson and Andre Benjamin for the film’s stretch and to share the focus, Four brothers Make the most of Wahlberg’s screen time. Unlike Shooter and Mac Spainhis stik doesn’t have time to get older. A little marquee marking can go a long way.
Even the supporting cast is packed with familiar faces including Terrence Howard, Puri-Modern family Sofia Vergara, Taraji P. Henson, and Josh Charles, one of Hollywood’s greatest “that guy,” a name you don’t recognize, but you’ll quickly put on the face and voice. Four brothers Make the most of all your performance and make everyone feel important. This is a feat that today’s hugely popular franchise still struggles with.
Four brothers It’s not a critical hit, but today it boasts a 53% rating of critics’ rotten tomatoes. But people who are really important, the average audience, give them a mark of a massive 80%.
I know that Four brothers One of Mark Wahlberg’s best doesn’t put him on the front, so it might look like a backhand tribute in the center, but here He died, pain and gain, The perfect storm, Italian workand more Boogie Night All in the same way. Colin Farrell discovered that he was not a traditional top-class man and accepted the right role for him, and awards and critical acclaim were quickly followed. Wahlberg still has hope.
