This movie isn't particularly good, but it's okay for a single watch. But the movie is fairly fast paced, it's basically only an hour and 20 minutes.
Sure, the plot has holes and the logic is really quite silly at certain points during the movie. Had those not been there, I would have rated it 6, no problem. But there were action, and it was fast paced, so atleast not to get boring. The plot itself was very predictable, but I never expected much else. The quality of the cinematography and the action however... not all that great, but for me it worked alright, atleast enough for me to watch the whole movie.
For me, the movie were actually decent enough, for the most part. It was mainly towards the ending that I had the hardest time with it. The acting felt solid enough, but the druglord, played by Epps were clearly the worst to me. The 3 brothers Hause, Ashmore and Holmes did a decent job, so did Willis, when he were on screen, which he barely were. Also "hecnhman" no. 1, played by Brosnan also did a good job.
Biggest gripes I had with the movie:
1: A few big ones for me, were that supposedly two of the brothers are well trained marines. Yet they don't foresee that their identity might be compromised as they go full rambo on a druglord. Just casually leaving the wife at home as if it were any regular day. She should have been sent to some remote cabin, paid in cash.
2: Also why would you assault the druglords major operation headquarter, without much in sense of tactical entry and tactics. They just walse right in, and with a policeshield for only cover. They hit the druglord, rescue the hostages and leave. Never even checking to make sure he is down for the count and no double-tap. You could see the revenge hit, he would soon make on them, coming from a mile off.
3: And why would you (a), use you own truck, without atleast hiding its numberplate and (b), why would you return to your everyday address between skirmishes and also plan meetings there.
4: And during the last fight at the house, as the one brother gets shot. The 3rd brother (untrained), but still. He just rushes out infront of a weapon he clearly know is there, because he just saw his brother get shot. He however, decides to turn his back to the gun, so he can cry over his brothers dead body. And for some reason the "badguy" with the weapon, should have killed the 3rd brother long ago, but figures he wants to do it excecution-style, which is tempting, I guess. Now that he is kneeling down, facing away... but still.
