Brother's Keeper

I liked the story, the acting, and could see the end coming into focus before the ending, yet stuck around for the full story. It delivered a powerful message about the road of life and all the unjust, hateful, sorry souls and godly ones too, and the plot twists reminded one of life itself. So in the end it was the power of love to balance hate that we see on display. If you have God in your life this movie is a screamer, but regardless the power of love over hate shines a bright light and I would recommend it to everyone in this time of covid-19. Perhaps it might even enable those hesitant to get vaccinated to do so for the love of the other.

well IMO whether you believe or not i suggest watch the movie first based on story then you can actually have a better review aside from whatever you believe and be honest with yourself how good this movie really is,look you don't have 2b religious to actually like this movie,however you might get the strong message. i thought this is very powerful yet a very good structure and most of all underrated. this is from a person who loves movies especially the good one and is my first time to write a review about movies in any sort,believe me i have never done this b4,is just that the movie was so good that made do this for the very first time,i hope you 2 will like it as i did. P.S i'm aware that are so many good movies out there and i pretty much have watched them all and this is certainly 1 of them.

I saw this as part of a preview audience. Some movies come together, the writing, directing, and acting take you on a journey. Brother's Keeper is not one of those movies. It was overacted and almost felt like it was directed by two different people with different visions of the film. The casting of Ray Wise's wife was strange, as Robin Lively not only looks younger than she is, she is already over 20 years younger than him. Since this is not a plot point, it just left me wondering why such a mismatch. This was just one of many points of this movie that were painful (over acted court scenes, formulaic "spoiled rich boy" character) My friend who invited me is a closeted man who works for an ultra conservative energy (oil) company and I believe he got the tickets from work. I had the impression that the tickets to the preview were handed out at a megachurch based on the rest of the audience. I was one of the few who walked out of the preview wanting the two hours of my life back, while I heard others muttering and praising its "God" focus. I never saw this movie get a distribution around the Dallas area, so I assume it never found a distributor or never got a wide distribution. All I can say is maybe that was God's will keeping others from suffering through this stinker.

This might as well have been a recruitment tool to get people to turn to religion. It was the exact opposite of what was in the description on premium HDNet cable; revenge for having been wronged. Religion wasn't what I had hoped to see 2 hours of.

How they got Michael Rooker and Ray Wise to do this pointless P. O. S. I have NO idea.

With so many movies and games romanticizing murder, revenge, stealing cars, etc..... it is wonderful to see a movie address a major moral dilemma that our society struggles with heavily, and offer a wholesome and healthy solution. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people but if you let Him, God will make the best of the situations we give him. And in the bigger picture He redeems even the most hopeless of circumstances. This movie has laughs, tears and if you let it, helps us reach deep inside and do something healthy with our unforgiveness. The movie is a blend of veteran actors with some new talent and overall they deliver the story with passion and conviction.
