Quotes
[first lines]
Evelyn Mercer:
Ok, Darnell, so the candy just happened to jump into your pocket, huh? Well I don't think so. Samir's going to call the police right now. Samir, the police!
Darnell:
Please don't call the police, man, please!
Evelyn Mercer:
That's what happens when you shoplift. There's consequences.

Crazy Credits
The Paramount logo in the beginning has snow falling upon it. The end credits show scenes of each of the brother's past. Bobby is seen fighting in a hockey game and has the front of his teeth knocked out. Jeremiah is seen leading a worker's protest outside of a factory. Angel is seen trying to buy an airline ticket with a stolen credit card (once the clerk finds out, Angel runs away). Jack is seen playing the guitar and singing in a band (he waves his pierced tongue at his fans). See more »
Alternate Versions
On the MTV, VH1, Paramount Network and airline versions, the shower scene where a few guys take this was blurred. See more »

I went to see the movie last night and I really wasn't sure what to expect going in, and I must say I'm very impressed with the results. Despite a few hitches (how cliché this movie really is, I.E. revenge), it really did deliver. All four of the brothers delivered the flavor that this movie probably would have needed and I must say that the screenplay must have been superb. This movie pays the obvious homage to Death Wish and it's been quite overdone, but not without receiving the credit it deserves.
If you like action drama, then I'd recommend you go out and pay the $8 to see it. I don't think you'll be too disappointed.
