Brother's Keeper

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.

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.

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.

We really like the new release, "Brother's Keeper Film", produced by the industry's up and coming Steven Camp, Josh Mills and TJ Amato of Desert Wind Films. It's a period piece set in the late 1950's that takes advantage of gorgeous Georgia scenery in the southeast, U.S.A. The theme - forgiveness - is of universal appeal. The cinematography and musical score are absolutely enchanting. Adam Grant and band "Bad Horse" debut a fantastic rendition of an old time favorite, Amazing Grace. A talented slate of actors compiles a cast that brings this faith-based movie to life. Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead's Merle), Country's Hit star - Travis Tritt, Ray Wise (look him up - oh yeah!), athlete Peter Boulware, Shaun Clay, Daniel Samonas (Disney's Wizzard of Waverly Place)... the list goes on and I haven't even mentioned the leading roles played by twins Alex and Graham Miller! In the movie to keep track of which brother is which ... think Pastor PETE and Angry ANDY. That little tip helped me :) Just under 2 hours in length, this is wholesome entertainment at it's finest. Limited release in a dozen markets Nov. 1st. Intended for a broader release in 2014.

After reading some comments on this movie. Without pinpointing the hater.i must say i like the movie. It was sad made me cry and that's hard to do. The worst part of the movie was that his brother didn't do more to save his brother from being killed.its sad we live in a world that this can actually happen.we need to take more actions to keep the wrong people from being prosecuted wrongfully. wrongful death there's no need.without a shadow of a doubt. This was a well played movie by all .i only wished for a happy ending.but that don't happen in true life.true life wronged people suffer.
