Brother

About This Movie

Brother (2021) is this gritty action flick that really dives into the psyche of its detective protagonist. He’s ambitious, for sure, but also deeply driven by his sense of justice, which creates a nice tension throughout. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, especially in the middle, but it ramps up nicely towards the end. The practical effects used during the action sequences add a rawness that some may find refreshing. The atmosphere is dark and moody, which fits perfectly with the themes of crime and moral ambiguity. While the director might not be a household name, the performances have this authenticity that grounds the film, making it distinct in its own right.
