Brother's Keeper

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.

You can't put a rating or review on God's work.

This movie was beautiful. Although the cinematography was old, dated, and bad at times, I enjoyed watching this movie on a Sunday night.

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.

Yes, This movie is about redemption, faith and forgiveness, but it doesn't 'sugar coat' the edges of life with an unrealistic preachy, utopian society. One that ultimately work out their differences, walking hand and hand into the sunset. This is a gritty, period crime drama that reveals the inherent ugliness in human nature... additionally showing how we can overcome that ugliness w love. I highly recommend you watch the movie for the 'story', and don't adopt a preconceived notion of the quality simply bc it's a 'faith' centric project.
