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.

Notes
My Brother The Devil is a very fine film -- I'm likely to view it again -- I particularly appreciated the setting of a working class immigrant community in London -- There were only a few minor flaws -- For example, I found that Rashid's sexuality epiphany was much to quick with little in the plot to predict it -- the cast's performances were superb -- cinematography was excellent.
