Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: What [Kitano fans are] looking for are increasingly novel and outrageous ways to ambush, mutilate and assassinate. And their hero doesn't disappoint. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: This somber and bloody retread is hardly the best place to first make Kitano's intimidating acquaintance. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Kitano's most enjoyable, flat-out fun movie, provided you can stomach the violence. Read more
Loren King, Chicago Tribune: For all its arty bloodshed, Brother is disappointingly hollow. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: A provocative variation on moviedom's worn cross-cultural themes. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: We're made numb to the violence and bored by the lack of plot or character development. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: If the film had ended a couple of scenes earlier, on a touch that's a tribute to westerns and showdowns, Mr. Kitano would have finished things off beautifully. But that's a minor quibble. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: Sure to satisfy fans of the laconic auteur. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Intriguing though uneven. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Rarely has such an artful aesthetic been used to craft such sadistically violent junk. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Am I the only one who finds [Kitano's] films impossible to make heads or tails of? Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: As an actor and writer-director, Mr. Kitano projects an amused irony that makes his films worth seeing. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Too many of the killing scenes have a casual, perfunctory tone. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: Kitano presents all this mayhem in crisp and cool camera work that distances it and keeps it from becoming oppressive. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The movie's second half ... is tedious and uninspired. Read more
