The gathering implausibility is dispelled by a nice ending twist.

Brotherhood has its faults -- the plot unravels a fair bit -- but the Tarantino homage is reasonable and the nightmarish atmosphere well maintained, with bizarre black-comic jolts.

Ingeniously constructed and propulsively paced.

"Brotherhood" isn't badly acted or without some skillfully tense moments, but it doesn't have much in the way of entertainment value either.
February 24, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
The obvious motif of victory and power becomes the steroids to Brotherhood's raging physicality.

Dec 26, 2011Exciting and full of plenty of twists and turns, Brotherhood is a solid hazing-gone-wrong story.Sam E Super Reviewer

Sep 26, 2011I thought it was pretty good. It was so damn fast though. The pacing was lightning quick. I barely knew any of the characters and already people were getting beat up and shot. None of the characters were developed at all. The action was nice, and it had its suspenseful moments. I would've liked the pacing to slow down though. The things that happened were so outrageously unbelievable, I needed some time to catch up. Fifty things were going on at the same time, it was hard to keep up. Other than the craziness, it was a pretty decent film. It was really short though; I wasn't expecting that.Japes . Super Reviewer

Sep 10, 2011A very well done film that kind of went too far, I think. The problem with this movie is that most of the characters are incredibly stupid, and annoying to the point that I was actually getting tired of the whole thing after the first hour. A chain reaction of one terribly bad decision after another was the whole premise of this film. I wish that they would have cut out a couple of those bad decisions a little earlier than they did. Know when to call it quit guys. Geez!Cynthia S Super Reviewer

Jun 07, 2011Yes its an implausible story, but its so fast paced you don't have time to dwell on it, and instead focus more on the intense bursts of action and well-timed twists. A fun thriller.Jeffrey M Super Reviewer
