Bernard K Rediculous. Makes reality look like stupidity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/01/18 Full Review dave j Loosely based on actual events practiced segregation in our prisons, when Caucasian inmates are treated better than anyone who are not white. Bernie Casey stars as David Thomas sentenced harshly for a small offense as he learns about injustice once he is put in the same cell as Walter Nance (Ron O'Neal synonymous for Super Fly fame) hence the tile "Brothers" as he refers to all African American inmates,. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly solid acting in this tale of one man's self-discovery and subsequent fight against corruption and oppression in prison make this film an undiscovered gem. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review cal w It's worth watching, it's a little dated but has some redeeming value. Trump supporters will probably be rooting for the guards. ??
