What occurs could only happen in a movie because it was written that way. I won't ruin the ending for you but will say that, it too, has the kind of Hollywood ending where you just have to laugh at how poorly and beyond loose it is. And it goes through the entire movie in such a fashion. I don't know who drew it up on paper but it had us rolling with laughter each time they pulled that sideshow. All these tough guys reduced to tears, visions of moms moms. It really looks, feels and acts like a stage play.Flashbacks of scenes with moms are painfully funny. To say this movie was unrealistic is an understatement. They include every cliche in the book, good cop bad cop, hot blooded latina girlfriend, a Wahlberg who can pull out his gun seemingly at every turn and somehow NEVER gets reported to the police or seriously threatened by anyone else in what is supposed to be a rough Detroit neighborhood. This has to be a payback film for something.The explanation as to why the events in this film took place are loose - at best. It's all wasted on a script that is so poorly written that you must blame the writers, director and these guys' agent for doing this rubbish.
I happen to like a good number of Wahlberg's films, think Andre 3000 is a fantastic talent and the villain is an Oscar winning actor and major talent. They are either paid shills or have painfully low expectations. It's bizarre.Nothing in this film makes much sense. Streets with no people, car chases with no one else on the road, outdoor scenes with no one in the vicinity except for "the local kids" who have a speaking part. Did they run out of money for extras? It looked like a staged show you'd see on Broadway. There are no rules on what appears the entire time to be an isolated staged set. Four adopted brothers talk about their momsy moms in a bizarre, unrealistic and painfully funny fashion. In short, four adopted bad reputation brothers come back to their childhood home to mourn the death of their mother in a robbery, but later appears that it might have been the result of foul play.I knew this was headed for trouble when the film had a soap-opera like appearance. With an eye popping cast of talent you get a bowl full of cheese, replete with what are surreal, hard to believe moments of laugh out loud unintentionally painfully funny dialog and flashbacks of characters ready to wink back at the audience. Painfully bad, especially with an all star cast
