What You Need To Know:
BROTHERHOOD is a strange film – a deeply unpleasant exploration of some of the worst possible events that could ever transpire in one night. Its relentless energy and clever plot twists might make viewers feel that a new talent has hit the screen, in the form of Director Will Canon. The movie has too many cheap thrills, however, to be really good, despite some good performances. Adam does the right thing in the end, but media-wise viewers will find BROTHERHOOD’s lewd, immoral content excessive and unworthy.

More Detail:
BROTHERHOOD is a frenetically paced, wild, violent, foul-mouthed ride through a night where a college fraternity prank goes horribly wrong.
In the story, some fraternity pledges are expected to rob convenience store clerks to prove their manhood and obedience. One pledge, Kevin, sneaks into a store past the older frat brother who’s supposed to stop him, and a gunfight ensues with the clerk where the clerk shoots Kevin. Bleeding out and in pain, Kevin wants to go to the hospital, but the frat’s leader, Frank, overrules the reasoning and pleas of another pledge, Adam. Frank fears the police investigation that would surely follow.
Events spiral further and further out of control until Adam hatches a plan that can make everything right again, or close to it, although his plan requires all manner of deception to succeed. [SPOILER] In the end, Adam tells the police the full story anyway, choosing honesty over his potential fraternity.
