Blood Brothers

BLOOD BROTHERS (2007) - Sept. 13, 2007
There's pretty much nothing fresh about this film, which features the exploits of three best friends from a small town who find themselves moving up the ranks for a local mob boss after moving to Shanghai. It all unfolds pretty much exactly as you'd expect it would, and it's a bit more melodramatic than it should be, but it's stylishly directed and mostly entertaining throughout. If nothing else, it's worth it if only for the spectacularly violent finale, which almost reminded me of the ending of Commando. **1/2
