Fratelli di sangue

Is words that i rarely use, but with such a significant lack of action in an actionthriller , youll have to search well to find anything as lame as this. its the sound of an examination at the proctologist that raves these streets, and the road towards the plunger and away towards the ocean is very short.

its a scriptless, motionless feardrama among the filipensian tribes that fights to rule the understory of the citys crimeworld. but the waiting game of mediocre acting that lasts well into the last third of the film, makes it meaningless unless they are able to make it emotional, which it isnt.so when the going gets tough and the tough hits the floor it wont lever the libra.

so if you will have a nice film to view, do not choose this one.a no recommend from the grumpy old man

It captured the essence of the city better than other movies and I enjoy that. Most movies set in Philly spend time at City Hall etc - where we bring tourists. I can't imagine Matthias Schoenaerts in a car chase - he is more Michael Corleone than Pacino.

Sure its was a slow burn but it was more realistic than most crime movies.

The story isn't original but the resolution at the end is more true to life.

I've wasted 2 hours on worse films

Characters band together creating a mess. Story is hard to get into. Actors are mumbling and cussing. Sometimes the characters look the same. Like who is who? Scene jumps everywhere and the ending is just dark. I don't know what was the point. The film is short. Do not watch unless you want to purposely fall asleep.

I've no idea why this has received such poor reviews, I thought it was very good. The acting was great all round and the photography is excellent.. if you like the films of James Gray then you'll probably like this.. worth a watch

I saw the negative user reviews and thought, "They could be wrong. I like the actors; I like the genre. This must be better than they're saying" Nope. They were right. So much wasted potential. It's watchable but the way they tell the story isn't that great and neither is the ending.
