Entertainment Reviews:
The film, directed by Will Canon, has the unrelenting pace and cascading-catastrophe structure of a '24' episode, along with a cast of young actors who play it for everything it's worth.

The gathering implausibility is dispelled by a nice ending twist.

New York Times
Like its characters, Brotherhood is not a perfect film, but it's a highly effective, jolting and dark ride that plays especially well with an audience.

Viewers get paddled into submission in this strident frat-house thriller.

Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 3/4 --
Here's a tough, twisty, relentlessly paced little indie in which a college frat hazing looks pretty much like a gang initiation.

Playboy Online
Ingeniously constructed and propulsively paced.
Variety
Leanly scripted, directed for maximum tension, fast-moving and filled with a surprising amount of droll humor.

Product Description:
A prank goes wrong and threatens to take everyone involved down with it in this independent thriller. Frank (Jon Foster) is the president of a college fraternity who takes a special pride in berating his brothers and terrorizing new pledges. Frank decides to cap off Hell Week by demanding a special show of loyalty -- each prospective frat member is given a gun and ordered to rob a convenience store. What the pledges don't know is a house brother is supposed to follow them and keep them from using the gun, but Kevin (Lou Taylor Pucci) ends up at the wrong store and no one is there to stop him from pulling his gun. Kevin is shot by Mike (Arlen Escarpeta), the store's night clerk, and when the wounded man returns to the frat house, another pledge, Adam (Trevor Morgan), tries to convince Frank to get him to a doctor before he bleeds to death. Frank, however, doesn't want himself or the house implicated in the incident; instead, he sends Adam to the store to bring back Mike and clear away any evidence. Adam discovers that Mike is someone he knew from high school who isn't intimidated by him and has no interest in helping him clear up the mess Frank has made. BROTHERHOOD was the first feature film from writer and director Will Canon.
