Without any formal martial arts training, or any real funding for his 'blockbuster' action movie script, Dax enlists the help of his buddies including producer Nate Tuck and actor Tom Arnold. Together, they work towards Dax's true passion while facing rejection at every turn. With maniacal conviction, Dax journeys on a bizarre path that becomes increasingly nonsensical and destructive, all at the expense and exploitation of his personal and professional relationships. BROTHER'S JUSTICE marks Dax Shepard's directorial debut, co-directed by David Palmer. The Hollywood satire also features performances by Bradley Cooper and David Koechner (ANCHORMAN), among others. -- (C) Tribeca

Critic Reviews
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
A vanity project about a vanity project, Dax Shepard's shambling mockumentary is more likable than its description suggests.
-
Andy Webster, New York Times
Flailing, ultralow-budget...
-
Eric Hynes, Time Out New York
Reeks of a throwaway joke that should have been left to die; even at a mere 80 minutes, this halfhearted Tinseltown satire still feels padded.
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
It's an easy watch that nonetheless consistently feels like a grazing blow rather than a knockout.
-
Aaron Hillis, Village Voice
Like an overlong episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm with none of the wit and twice the irritation.
