Trailer Synopsis Cast

Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Usual depiction of drugs, guns and knife crime being not just the best but the only way ethnic minorities, be they Black or Asian can make a decent living. Am I being racist, or are the film makers, I'd love to see a film were an Asian or Black family travel to Britain, overcome the bigotry and work hard to create a successful business. This sort of stuff goes down well with the metropolitan sort, I.E. those who hand out awards. Then shock, horror when the townies and villagers say if that's immigration stop it, we don't want it here. Films like this are counter productive, they tend to excuse violent criminal behaviour amongst minorities as their only option. All criminals, be they White, Black or Asian simply want easy money without working hard for it.

My Brother the Devil is a tense, thought provoking drama, directed by British director Sally El Hosani. Throughout the film we follow the lives of the two brothers Rash (James Floyd) and Mo (Fady Elsayed); as Hosani explores in depth the important issues faced within gang culture and Islamic beliefs. The film is set Hackney- where Sally El Hosani was born, which as an audience we are able to see how deeply her connection relates to the real life events that occur within Hackney and London life. Thought- provoking themes are revealed further through the way Hosani is able to capture and present the outlook of the LGBT community through gang life and the family's beliefs. For instance within the drama, the betrayal of Rash to his religion is explored through him realising that he is homosexual. When his younger brother Mo finds out, he would rather admit that his brother is a terrorist, as he views Rash being gay as a worse 'crime'. My Brother the Devil was a shocking and eye-opening view into the reality of life within London based gangs and the LGBT community. I felt that the narrative and themes were illustrated with professional depth and perceptiveness; enhancing the audiences understanding towards the modern issues we face within society.

My brother the devil is a thrilling drama. It captivates what life is like in the streets, what it is like to be a road man and the struggles that males face on the road. One of the unexpected struggles of the film was the fact that Rash is gay. This was very shocking as this type of homosexual culture is not usually expressed within films that involve gang culture as it is often frowned upon. Even within the film Rash's brother Mo is so disappointed to the fact that his brother is gay, he would prefer if his brother was a terrorist. This expresses how in society if you were to be gay it is not excepted. In addition to this their religion doesn't condemn you to be gay as they are Muslim it would be considered haram.
