Summary: Pulp Fiction meets Reservoir Dogs + Religious examination
Review: Wow! This is a very interesting film, and it shamefully had the same curse Memento had: Great film no one heard of until it went to DVD.

The movie takes a very interesting and deliberate view of following ones personal interpretation of religious belief, to the nth degree, as well as taking a very well aimed pot shot at the flaws in our legal system. It doesn't provide pat answers, which I felt worked well (We are a civilized society, but how do you best deal with the uncivilized).

In terms of movie enjoyment...gotta say it's also a fun movie while it gives you meaty subject matter to chew on. I've never seen a movie where a toilet was used as a murder weapon; Ron Jeremy in a non-porn, porn role ( bit of great casting, BTW); and the worlds WORST attempt at cleaning up a crime scene (if you are particularly observant, notice what they used to cover up part of the mess. Absolutely priceless!) are just a few of the inventive ingredients thrown into this story.

The result is a terrific film you will not be sorry you watched.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Very Cool Movie
Review: I first saw this movie at a friends house and fell in love with it. I love the way that Sean Patrick Flanery and Sean Patrick Flanery play the two brothers that decide to rid the world of evil people. Willem Dafoe was super in playing the F.B.I. agent stuck between taking the brothers down or joining them. Don Della Rocco plays his role great and I will never forget when Rocco yells out, "We could kill everyone".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a winner
Review: Gritty, unusual (and kinda funny) with above par acting. It was fairly original too with good ingredients. Defoe is priceless, the Saints are entertaining as well, the movie doesn't really let you forget that it's just for fun and not to be taken seriously, religiously or anything other than a fun, action/shocker, alter-ego, entertain-me-for-a-while movie. For the price, it's a keeper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Movie is top-notch
Review: Boondock Saints is an absolutely amazing film. The inherently unique structure offers a pure in-depth look into a hypnotic ground breaking interaction. Movie is phat, different, entertaining, w/ cool cast members. The twin Irish bros do an unreal job, and Willem DeFoe is at his best. Watch it and tell a friend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW
Review: St.Patricks Days is celebrated by the Irish everywhere in the world. The MacManus brothers starts the day of by going to church, and later on they celebrate with their friends at a pub in Boston. But after this very day, nothing is ever the same for the brothers, who is soon-to-be-known-as the saints. The morning after; FBIagent Paul Schmecker is called out to the killing of two russian creeps. The police ain't getting anywhere, so Schmecker follows his own amazing - and true - theorys.
The MacManus-brothers concider themselves to be chosen by God to clean the city by killing the gangsters. Schmecker follows their bloody tracks, and against his will, Schmecker discovers that he admires the brothers for doing what his job prevents himself from doing; terminating the worst criminals, the creeps FBI can't do anything about.
This is by far the GREATEST movie ever, and even though you might not be that hooked on action you will be after watching BOONDOCK SAINTS; it captures you from the beginning, and you'll want more when this movie sadly ends. And the actors could NOT have been chosen better; SEAN PATRICK FLANERY (Simply Irrisistable, Zack&Reba, Young Indy, etc) and NORMAN REEDUS (8mm, Gossip, etc) plays the amazing cool brothers, and their acting is beyond brilliance. WILLEM DAFOE (Mississippi Burning, Body Of Evidence) is fabulous as the detective.
IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO WATCH THIS AMAZING MOVIE, DO NOT LET IT PASS YOU BY. You might as well by it right away, cause it's a guarantee that you'll want to watch it again and again and again...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Honest Review
Review: "Boondock Saints" is the story of 2 Irish brothers who decide they are to be angels of the lord and go around killing those they believe to be evil. Okay, the first hour of the movie was very entertaining, the plot was still developing well, the bodycount was rising, and the cops are still clueless. Once it neared the end things started to fall apart. The plot goes from semi believable to down right rediculous. I wont give specifics, so as not to ruin the movie, but the cops plot twist is, well, for lack of a better term....dumb. As for the last 10 min of the movie, all i can imagine is that the writer was out of ideas or heavily medicated.

For those reviewers who compare this movie to "Lock Stock" or "Snatch", I'm sorry but this movie is not as good as either of these titles. As for comparing this movie to "Reservor Dogs", Saints isnt even in the same league. I gave this movie 3 stars because of its [weak] plot twists and hideous ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BOONDOCK SAINTS A MUST!!!
Review: This movie has definitely topped Lock Stock and Snatch in my books. There is no competition. Snatch and Lock Stock were made for the masses and DO NOT! "keep it real" if you will. The reason I say that is because a lot of people compare this movie to Lock Stock and Snatch, and they are nothing alike! This movie is pure Irish Pride! But you don't have to be Irish to watch this movie. It will make anyone take pride in what they stand for and want to go blow off them stupid arrogant gangsters heads!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!! BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!

Review: I find that no one can give this masterpiece of cinema anything less than five stars. WOW! 170 votes at an average of 4.5 stars reflects the high appreciation people have for this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything you have always wanted to do
Review: This movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The idea behind it is something we all have thought about. As many have said people never know about it until someone tells them, thats how I found out. If you like movies that have a depth to them and enjoy a good gun fight and story line, you will love this film. The soundtrack also is top notch.
