edwardzyskowski I laughed, I...laughed some more. A bit off the wall but great action, good acting and across the board a damn fine movie. Billy Connolly in a role I had to do a double take on. During a time of extreme director over directing this movie follows a simple premise and in the end delivers.
view_and_review The Boondock Saints is about two modern day purveyors of justice. Almost by accident two Irish Catholic brothers find themselves cleaning up the streets of Boston one criminal at a time all the while the police and a hotshot gay FBI agent are on their trail. They stay one step ahead of both the bad guys and the cops as they take out the trash.Who doesn't root for someone cleaning up the streets? It's bloody and a little sanctified in a sense that they have made themselves into judge, jury and executioner but it is also refreshing. The movie is somewhat light for such heavy violence and shooting. It is a fun movie.
Matt Greene I actually kinda hate it: its derivative, self-righteous, gleefully violent, incredibly douchy, and just plain despicable. Its biggest problem is it exists in a no-man's land of style that's both too unique and too cliched, making any of interesting aspect (non-linear storytelling, everything Dafoe is doing) feel more pretentious than earned.
A. Dudley What a perfectly quintessential and thoroughly enjoyable action flick. Yes, the film had its share of clichés(which there were plenty of), but it was all in the name of fun. Troy Duffey did an amazing job of incorporating great action scenes, wonderful characters, and a fun, easy to follow plot. Not only did the director triumph in his role, but Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flannery more than succeeded in getting the audience to fall in love with their characters within the first 5 minutes of the movie. As well as having two ridiculously endearing protagonists, the film also featured two supporting actors, William Dafoe and David Della Rocco, who were incredibly eccentric, original, and an absolute joy to watch. All in all, Boondock Saints was simply an amazingly fun-filled film.
