Four men come together to find out how and why the woman who raised them was killed in this hard-edged
urban drama from director
John Singleton. Short-tempered
Bobby (
Mark Wahlberg), struggling musician
Jack (
Garrett Hedlund), streetwise
Angel (
Tyrese Gibson), and hard-working
Jeremiah (
Andre Benjamin) are four guys who don't appear to have much in common, in terms of either race or temperament. However, these men have one very important bond -- all four were adopted and raised by the same woman (
Fionnula Flanagan), and they all love her as a mother, and respect one another as brothers. When their mother is killed during a robbery at a grocery store, the four brothers come together for the funeral, but when they don't get straight answers about what happened to her, they begin looking into the crime themselves. The deeper they dig into the case, the more the brothers begin to suspect that the shooting wasn't an accident, and that powerful and unexpected forces were involved.
Four Brothers marked one of the first starring roles for
Andre Benjamin, better known as
Andre 3000 of the top selling
hip-hop group
OutKast.
