Mark Wahlberg's "Four Brothers" Surges on Netflix Charts After Two Decades

Published on April 14, 2026, at 1:02 PM EDT, ScreenRant's senior writer Adam Bentz—known for his extensive portfolio of nearly 5,000 articles—delves into the enduring appeal of Mark Wahlberg’s "Four Brothers." With a background in creative writing, English, and screenwriting, plus experience at The Borgen Project, Bentz brings a unique perspective to both journalism and film analysis.

One standout moment in Bentz’s career was curating a Leonardo DiCaprio compilation that garnered over 150K views—a testament to his knack for spotlighting compelling content. He also contributes as an amateur film reviewer on his personal platform.

Meanwhile, "Four Brothers" continues to make waves. Originally released in 2005 under director John Singleton, the movie follows four adopted brothers seeking justice after their mother’s murder, blending intense action with emotional depth. Despite mixed critical reception (53% on Rotten Tomatoes), it resonated strongly with viewers, earning 80% from general audiences and achieving notable box office success ($92.5M against a $30M budget).

Today, the film tops Netflix’s global Top 10 in 42 countries, ranking just below titles like "Thrash" and "Snuper 2." While unavailable in the U.S. on Netflix, it thrives on Tubi, claiming the No. 1 spot for December 2026 in the U.S. Its cast—including Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, and Garrett Hedlund—features acclaimed actors like Terrence Howard and Chiwetel Ejiofor, amplifying its star power.

A striking poster image captures the brothers’ camaraderie, while the film’s runtime (109 minutes) balances gritty storytelling with heartfelt moments. For those eager to revisit or discover this classic, its availability across platforms ensures it remains a staple of modern action cinema.
