Brotherhood

Clumsy dialogue and heavy handed attempts at social drama undermine the third in the 'hood' trilogy. However, despite its flaws this isn't a bad film. The story is interesting and I cared about the character of Sam. To take a quote from the wonderful movie Magnolia, we may be through with the past but the past isn't through with us, and so it is for Sam. Forgive the film its flaws and you should get something from this closing chapter. No other sequel is needed, unless anybody is willing to make one of these movies... Red Riding Hood - a young girl makes her way through the mean streets of London unaware of vicious mob boss, The Wolf. Motherhood - don't mess with these mums in the East End of London. Fatherhood - as above, only a return to the masculine values of the original trilogy. Sisterhood - as above, but a return to the feminine values of Motherhood. UnderTheHood - Hooded hoodlums terrorise the streets of London in pimped up cars. Unlikelihood - like all the rest but this time there is peace in London and there are rainbows and unicorns everywhere.

Jesus christ, where do i start with this movie. Its a complete fucking joke. Everything about it felt rushed, lazy and forced. The characters that we're meant to take seriously behave like they belong in a youtube comedy skit. Scenes that are meant to be deep and emotional are written so poorly that they just look ridiculous. The story itself is completely forgettable and pointless, the climax was laughable, its sad to think that this is the successor of two brilliant dramas. Kidulthood and Adulthood. Movies that were written so well, with great storylines and characters. Now almost 10 years later we have this, a pointless cash-grab and a disgrace to what was once a perfect series. Deeply disappointed.
