Mark Wahlberg’s intense crime thriller is gaining popularity on Netflix, more than two decades after it first came out in theaters.

Mark Wahlberg has starred in a variety of films, from comedies to dramas, but he became known for action movies in the early 2000s with films like The Perfect Storm, Planet of the Apes, and The Italian Job. He even received an Academy Award nomination for his role in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. Now, another one of his crime thrillers is gaining popularity on Netflix.

More than twenty years after its release, the movie Four Brothers is currently a big hit on Netflix. Directed by the acclaimed John Singleton (known for Boys n the Hood), this action-packed film stars Mark Wahlberg as one of four adopted brothers. After their mother is murdered, they embark on a quest to find the killer, only to discover the truth is far more complex than they initially thought.

As of today, April 14th, the 2005 film Four Brothers is currently the 5th most popular movie on Netflix worldwide. It’s following Thrash at number one, as well as Sniper 2, Striking Distance, and Feel My Voice. It’s performing better than films like Eat Pray Bark, the 2025 Anaconda reboot, Sisu, Mudborn, and Tu Yaa Main.

The movie Four Brothers is currently a top 10 hit on Netflix in many countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Caribbean. While it’s not available on Netflix in the US, you can watch it for free on Tubi, where it was the most popular movie in December 2025.

It also includes acclaimed actors like Oscar nominees Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), and Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), as well as Emmy nominees Josh Charles (The Good Wife) and Sofía Vergara (Modern Family), plus Fionnula Flanagan.
