Blood Brothers

Advantages: Good action film
Disadvantages: Some weak plot areas

This is a flm only review and is not about the DVD.

Cast List Mark Wahlberg ... Bobby Mercer Tyrese Gibson ... Angel Mercer André Benjamin ... Jeremiah ...

Since 2002 he has released 5 albums in the US, and four here, his fifth, ?Brother?s Blood? is due out in mid July. He was dropped by Capitol Records in 2007, and then moved to join Procrastinate!
