The Brotherhood of Justice

I had seen this movie when it first aired back in the mid-eighties(I was a senior in high school at the time), and when I saw it again recently on cable TV, I realized that, for a made-for-TV film, it's not too bad. It's not great, either, but at least the writer and director seemed to not want to crank out yet another quickie network television thriller. The story gets surprisingly gritty, and a little bloody, in places. Even so,I think this film's big claim-to-fame is that the actor in the lead role is none other than future Speed-ster, dude-in-training Keanu Reeves. Check him out here at age 21!

I have to start by stating that I have an unusually low boredom threshold! This film wasn't brilliant, but wasn't the worlds worst either.

What was interesting was how Billy Zane, Keanu Reeves and Kiefer Sutherland all looked the same age and now, Kiefer and Billy look about the same, but Keanue still has his youthfull charms ... hmmm! :)

Also funny was how even the one line extras upstaged Keanu - not that I've got anything against the guy. He's very good at what he does, the Matrix and Bill & Teds' series show his talent.

Overall an average TV movie - worth a watch if you've got a couple of hours to kill, but not worth going out of your way for!

I not only have seen this movie, I was an extra in it in about 15 scenes. I think Keanu Reeves was a bad actor then and hasn't got much better since. It's a fun movie to see as there are many actors and actresses just starting out their careers. Just don't expect any Oscar performances except for the extra who says, "No". He is amazing. The plot is fairly weak but it was only a made for TV movie in the first place so you don't expect too much anyway. The movie is filmed in Santa Cruz County in California. Lost Boys was also filmed here and was a much better movie with quite a cult following. Kiefer Sutherland was in both movies. I would recommend this movie to watch just to see everyone in their first stages of acting.

I was a senior at Aptos High School when this movie was filmed there...and an extra (As many of my friends). It was incredible meeting, spending a little time with or around the main actors in this filming....as they would all become pretty huge actors. Being around to see it shot really effected the way I viewed this when it was finally released on Television. It was incredible to see the different Location shot in the same scenes...and as mentioned in other reviews the actors were young...I think Kiefer Sutherland was by far the most famous and experienced at this point...ad he was very cool and normal to everyone...Keanu Reeves had still not broken as a huge actor yet, but in his head he was the best of the crew....Billy Zane was also cool...but was very much like he appears in many movies...a little strange in ways of thinking of things...and many strange things to say...but all the actors were very cool. This is definitely worth watching, the scenes are fun to watch and the locations they were shot in are also cool to see...and it was great seeing all of the actors and actresses involved. Plus there is nothing cooler then seeing a number of your friends in multiple scenes...and your High School. I give it overall a thumbs up.

I remember my cousin telling me about this movie when we were younger and I was dying to see it. When I finally did I really liked it, it was something different for a movie about teens. The acting is decent as is the story it's good to see Keanu, Kiefer and Billy in early roles. It might be a bit out dated but it's still worth the watch! 7/10
