no  “Four Brothers” is based on a sturdy, familiar element:
revenge. When foster parent Evelyn Mercer (Fionnula Flanagan)
gets killed in what looks like an unfortunate convenience store
robbery, her four “sons” return to town for her funeral and stay
on for a little hands-on vengeance. The action stays down and
dirty but mixes in some political crime and one of the sleekest,
nastiest villains to reach the screen in some time.  The movie
is a potboiler of the first degree, a rolling juggernaut of
pacing, sketchy but solid characterization, and bone-jarring
violence. During a dearth of R-rated films and departure for a
kinder and gentler violence, death and mayhem, “Four Brothers”
stands out from the current crop of DVD fare.  Video
