The story tells of a new adventure led by three brothers who are behind Alabama. This adventure begins with the consent of the three brothers to help a woman save her son from her abusive father's husband. The three brothers find themselves causing a lot of problems with snobbish policemen and gangsters, which may be controversial, where they want to do good and good work in their lives.
A little too slick to be the next great action film and not funny enough to be dark comedy, this over produced bullet fest barely keeps going for its 98 minutes.
There's nothing wrong with tipping one's cap to one's influences, but in no case does this loud, crude and derivative film ever raise the bar. In fact, it actually lowers it.
If it has the right spit-in-your-face attitude, it has neither the stamina nor the wit to go the distance, although it makes it about two-thirds of the way.
