Critics Consensus

Brotherhood's fast-paced look at a fraternity pledge gone nightmarishly wrong has a kinetic pull that isn't always strong enough to overcome a hollow narrative.

A fraternity hazing goes horribly wrong as pledges are taken to convenience stores and ordered to go in and rob them at gunpoint. This is a pretty tight eighty minutes that doesn't waste time getting started and throwing the viewer in the van with the rest of the pledges not knowing what is in store. Pretty good story with decent performances from the young cast. Not a bad flick.

Brotherhood is suspenseful and entertaining... it's just hard to watch an entire film full of moronic decisions. This movie feels a little forced.

The gathering implausibility is dispelled by a nice ending twist.

Guardian

Brotherhood has its faults -- the plot unravels a fair bit -- but the Tarantino homage is reasonable and the nightmarish atmosphere well maintained, with bizarre black-comic jolts.

Rated: 3/5

The film is an interesting intellectual game where there is no sin without penance. [Full review in Spanish]

...a passable thriller [that is] disappointingly uninvolving for the duration of its refreshingly brief running time.
