Brotherhood Review: 6 Ups & 5 Downs

2. The Cast Is An Incredibly Mixed Bag

Performance-wise, this couldn't be much more of an inconsistent effort: though Clarke in particular gives a solid performance, the supporting players range from passable, to giggle-worthy, to downright awful.

It's not massively surprising given the lack of big names the project attracted, but even so, some of the movie's more crucial beats may have better-served by more capable actors.

Maza's big bad in particular is fascinatingly ridiculous to watch though not at all imposing, dialing the camp up far too high to be taken seriously as a threat, resulting in an off-note performance that affects several scenes for the worse.
