 | | The song so typifies the sound of Woody Herman's second "Herd" that the band is also known as the Four Brothers Band. | | | "Four Brothers" is a jazz standard composed by Jimmy Giuffre and performed by the Woody Herman Orchestra. | | | The song features four saxes (three tenors and one baritone) in an arrangement that gives each "brother" a solo and culminates in a hard-swinging sax section chorus. |

| | The Brothers Four worked at the Colony Club throughout 1958 and their show became a hit, particularly with college kids, who were tiring of the "contrived" records of the day and welcomed their acoustic, string-driven sound and pristine harmonies. | | | In 1960, The Brothers Four recorded the single "Greenfields," which became one of the most recognizable songs of the day. | | | They quickly landed a gig at the hungry i and soon thereafter landed a recording contract with Columbia Records. |

| | Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit | | | It's loosely based on John Wayne's The Sons of Katie Elder, but Singleton also adds in elements from those '70s payback flicks he loves so well, á la Death Wish and Shaft (which Singleton remade with Samuel L. Jackson). | | | The singer-turned-actor gives a layered performance as Jeremiah, a man who has tried to stay on the up and up for his family's sake but manages to get involved with the wrong people anyway. |

| | The widescreen DVD release of John Singleton’s “Four Brothers” offers a nice selection of special features, including an excellent director commentary, in which Singleton states that he had never even seen “The Sons of Katie Elder” before starting work on the film. | | | A gritty nighttime car chase in the middle of a snow storm, and an old-fashioned shootout featuring lots and lots of firepower are the film’s two greatest moments, but Singleton backs up his action-driven storyline with an echoing theme of brotherhood. | | | Also featured on the single-disc release are a handful of production featurettes focusing on the look and origin of the film (“Crafting Four Brothers”), its characters (“Behind the Brotherhood”), and the making-of the Mercer house shootout. |

| | They play foster brothers who are reunited at the funeral of their adoptive mother (Fionnula Flanagan), a saintly woman who rescued these “lost causes” from a life of delinquency. | | | David Elliot and Paul Lovett’s scrambled, shallow screenplay is loosely based on a popular mid-1960s John Wayne Western, “The Sons of Katie Elder.” Wahlberg has the Wayne role: the temperamental oldest brother, who organizes the survivors’ attempts at vengeance. | | | The quartet in John Singleton’s “Four Brothers” is emphatically not made up of blood relatives. |

| | Wisely, Singleton underscores the family vibe with a soundtrack of old Motown tunes instead of rap. | | | Although it's set in snowy Detroit, "Four Brothers" feels like a Western - specifically, the John Wayne movie "The Sons of Katie Elder." In both films, four hot-headed siblings reunite to avenge a murder. | | | What do you remember about "Boyz N the Hood" - the fragile bond between three childhood friends who were struggling to do the right thing on the mean streets of South Central LA, or the low-riding cars and thumping music of the gangbangers? |

That begins to change at the funeral, when they wordlessly agree that their mother's death requires some kind of action. | | | John Singleton's "Four Brothers" is an urban Western, or maybe it's an urban movie inspired by a Western; either way, it's intended to be more mythic than realistic. |

| | Four Brothers is essentially an urban western, no surprise given that the western is a genre close to Singleton’s heart. | | | In particular, I love the last half hour of the movie in which the brothers come ever so closer to achieving their goal. | | | We as an audience are supposed to believe that Evelyn had a major impact on these main characters when they were younger, but nothing these brothers go on to do (at least in the case of Bobby and Angel) supports the theory of her strong moral influence. |

| | Four Brothers The A.V. Club |
| | Early in the film, André Benjamin, the most successful and conscientious of the four, says exactly that, but the other three—and, most regrettably, director John Singleton—clearly ain't buying it. | | | The brothers are still street toughs at heart, and their first impulse is to exact their own form of justice, though that would be the last thing their saintly mother would want. | | | After reuniting at their mother's funeral, the brothers move back into their modest Detroit home and stew over the possibilities during a quiet Thanksgiving dinner. |
