Brothers by Blood

You should probably pass on this movie. Cliché after cliché. Weird moody acting in too many scenes.

I was expecting more. Had the story and tone of a gritty crime drama. Love the mob stories of the low level in on glamorous neighborhood guys. But this story felt dull and cut corners to save on budget. Not showing shooting scene. Or showing guys get shot one and presume their dead. Not having a complete ending. It felt they took choices to save on budget rather than to have a compelling full story.

A movie that takes it time to develop the tension of a man who must decide whether or not to back up his brother or to kill him before he destroys everything and everyone around him

What should have been a powerful film about generation pain and problems, instead comes out as a boring crime family just dealing. Great actors with decent acting - but the substance after the history is revealed doesn't hold up.

It's better than these critical reviews tend to indicate. But there is no question: it's indeed grim, bleak, and plodding. Circumstances and events lead inexorably to predestined outcomes.

Don't know why the so called "critics" have all hated it. Excellent movie, deep dark tale with a TOP LEVEL cast.

Slow! Nothing ever happens. A slow slow slow burn that ends up snuffed out with nothing to show, what a stellar case and waste of time. Forgettable.

it was slow and was expecting to see more details of the father's death and interaction between the main character.

Matthias Schoenaerts presence saves this movie. He is one of the most talented actors of this generation by far!

The movie was okay but lacked real suspense or really any climax accept the end which to me was the most likely outcome. I have seen far worse and the acting wasn’t bad either. I did like it is based in Modern time which was nice, not being set in the 80s.
