If you haven't seen Four Brothers, pick it up. It's a good movie.

Evelyn Mercer was considered a saint among the child services in the city of Detroit, helping misplaced and orphaned children find homes.

But there were four young boys who were considered lost causes, so Evelyn adopted them herself. Over time, the four boys called each other brother, and called Evelyn mother.

But when Mama Mercer is gunned down in what it looks like to be a robbery gone bad, her four baby boys return home to deliver some street justice for their mama.

Bobby Mercer is the eldest of the Mercer boys. Dubbed the 'heavyweight champion f!ck-up of the family' by Lieutenant Green, he is a career criminal trying to go straight. From the look of things, he was also the closest to Mama Mercer.

Angel Mercer is the second eldest of the brothers. A former hustler and ex-Marine, he is considered the 'pretty boy' of the brothers. He also has a thing for a local girl named Sofi, nicknamed 'La Vida Loca' by his brothers.

Jerimiah Mercer is the middle brother of the bunch. Possibly the only Mercer to ever go legit, he has a construction business, as well as a wife and two girls.

Jack Mercer is the youngest of the brothers. Prior to being adopted by Evelyn, it is highly hinted that he was sexually abused as a child, before Evelyn took him in. 'First-class f!uck-up, third-class rock star,' according to Green.

The Mercer Brothers soon discover that local gangster Victor Sweet was behind Evelyn's murder. So now, they have to take the fight to him, as well as his crooked buddies.

Gotta love a good revenge flick. This one's a classic.
