It’s an old truism: The family that ruptures bad guys' spleens together, stays together.

Take a few minutes Monday night to reflect on the importance of family as Alamo Drafthouse Cinema presents Brothers Five, the 1970 Shaw Brothers Studios film about a swordswoman who brings together five brothers to avenge their father’s murder.
