Summary: Too stylish, but still fun
Review: To start, Boondock Saints is blatently inspired by the Tarentino-esque style that has seemed to become popular among the indie crowd lately. The film shows this off most in the way the events are chronicled, mainly, you see the boys enter a room, then you see the investigators enter the same room, now drenched in bodies, THEN you see what actually happened in that time span. The action sequences themselves are also shown in slow motion- almost Matrix-like with opera substituting the techno. As for the acting in the film, the two brothers make for a great team, particularly when they keep it cool around their high-strung Italian buddy. Willam Dafoe obviously had great fun playing the agent and it shows. Overall, I would say that the film is too stylish and tries too hard for it's own good if it wasn't for the fact that the Boondock Saints is still one damn fun action flick.

Summary: THE CULT IS GROWING
Review: I originally saw this on the usa network and it was heavilly censored but i still loved every minute. i immediatly started hunting for a dvd and saw several imports available and then the soon to be released domestic.
anyway i built this movie up so much to my friends during the three month wait, that i was kind of nervous when i held a screening at my house that they would not like it.
WELL UNFORTUNETLY THEY LOVED IT AND MY COPY HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND TO SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS... THIER FRIENDS AND SO ON.. i have heard several of my friends make comparisons to "NEAR DARK" (sans vampires)... and i can see where they get that....this movie is heavy on style it might lack a little substance in the plot line but none the less is thoroughly entertaining.
as i am jonesing to watch it again i may have to get another copy...and with the price being just a little more than a rental i may get several copies to distribute to my friends so that they can enlist for what is sure too be a big cult movie.....but not with my copy!

Summary: Hard to find, but worth it...
Review: The Boondock Saints, starring Sean Patrick Flannery (Girl), and Norman Reedus (Gossip) is totally entertaining. The boys play two Irish brothers in Boston who begin to take the law into their own hands when organized crime begins to affect the businesses in their neighborhood, and become local heroes in the process. Willem Dafoe (The Last Temptation of Christ) is excellent as the intriguing homosexual FBI agent investigating the brothers' crime spree. There is also an interesting, if not completely surprising, plot twist at the end. The film, however, does have its weak points. The boys' accents are a little more Lucky the Leprechan than true Irish, and sometimes they seem to forget them altogether. The film hints that there may be some divine mysticism at work in one scene, but unfortunately it is never addressed again. Also, for some reason, the film veers away from the brothers for a while to center on the antics of their friend (the "funny man") who has joined them in their mission of vigilantism. I believe these quirks could have been avoided had it received Hollywood blockbuster-type funding. The Boondock Saints does have lots of action, humor, and some thought provoking ideas. Despite its flaws, it is a good, offbeat movie that seems to be gaining a solid fan base through word of mouth. This increased popularity is making the it much easier to get a hold of a copy, and it's definitely worth checking out.

Summary: Wow...
Review: I recently saw "Boondock Saints" and LOVED it...it makes us ask so many questions about God, ourselves, our faith, what we will do in pursuit of our faith, etc...I admire the tack the filmmaker took with the movie. The violence was graphic, but not in a way that put me off--surprise, surprise, I'm a woman, and blood usually turns my stomach. It was also not gratuitous, but rather the center of the film. The end is so dramatically wonderful. While the plot was skimpy in parts, it was positively so--it left me asking questions I wanted to ask. I like movies that leave me a bit puzzled, that don't explain everything, that keep some secrets. If you like a bit of mystery, this is the movie for you. If you like action, this is the movie for you. If you want to ponder some of life's big issues, this is the movie for you. And if you want to do all three--it's perfect.

Summary: Not for the average action fan!
Review: This is a great movie. But, only if you get the whole premise and a lot of the "inside" jokes. Most people won't, because most people aren't Irish hooligans,from Boston, or people who spent the majority of their childhood in Catholic parochial schools. Yes, I admit a bit of it is predictable at times, but these boys are trying to do the greater good. The actors are great in their accents and with their handling of a complicated role. My only qualm is Billy Connolly. He's Scottish, and so the accent is wrong to me. But I'm just picky. William Defoe is hilarious. See this movie if you like odd action movies. Especially see it if you fall into one of the above catagories. You'll get it.. really, I swear!

Summary: What is this film about?
Review: I admit I probably had unreasonably high expectations based on reviews here. What a dissapointment! I agree 100% with a reviewer who said it was more style than substance. Stylish? Yes, but incredibly shallow. I gotta say, though, that the music score is excellent, photography is very good, and actors indeed do their best, but their best is not good enough to save this movie. Don't even start comparing it to Lock, Stock... or Snatch, or Leon, or Desperado even. Or, for that matter, to any other film that has plot, characters, and working script. Do yourself a favor and rent it if you must. Do not buy.

Summary: How do you spell no budget?
Review: I am usually a fan of the darker, less big-studio and more artistic side of filmmaking, but Boondock Saints just stunk. The movie felt like it was trying to be smart, like Pulp Fiction, or at the very least, action packed, like a John Woo movie, and utterly failed to be either. Stank dialogue and "mysterious" latin chants were combined into a hash of zero plot punctuated by assassinations of "Russian Mob" members that the director has to introduce with little onscreen words saying "This guy is part of the Russian Mob. Bad guy." I was really hoping for a good movie, but a movie that can't even introduce a villain, or put together a good action scene (the opening sequence is decent, the rest of the movie falls on it's a**) -
The entire thing feels like Episode 1 - you watch little Annakin accidentally bring down the droid army, and it's like, "what?"
Same feeling, only lower budget. The DVD can't be worth it if the director couldn't even afford LIGHTS (you'll know what I mean if you see it). For a better movie (and much, MUCH better action) check out Takeshi Kitano's Fireworks - for a movie that has some kind of "moral dilemma" that all these reviewers seem to be infatuated with (even though the so called 'dilemma' is laughably portrayed) you might want to see Black Hawk Down or Clockers. Give me back my rental money.
