Summary: the boondock saints
Review: This film starring willem dafoe, sean patrick flanery, and norman reedus, covers an array of situations that religious fanactics would cringe at. sean and norman play irish american twins who feel god has granted them permisson to kill men they deem evil, this would include drug dealers, mobsters, and rapists. eventually willem, the sly FBI agent on the case decides what the brothers are doing is right and helps them. This movie actually affected me like no other film has. I dress like the brothers and feel something like this happening for real could improve life in high crime cities.:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie sure came out of the boondocks!!
Review: I was in the video store one day, and out of sheer desperation, and nothing left on the shelves, I picked this movie up. Was searching for it on the internet all day the next day !! Great movie about two religious brothers turned vigilante, with the help of a whacky friend. This movie sure is much more than a shoot'em up, but theres plenty of that too. Laughs, action, drama, it has it all. Willem dafoe plays the craziest character I have ever seen, a detective, but well done. This movie was almost scrapped, I believe because it was due to come out around the whole columbine thing, and a major studio dropped it (forget who) but the director found another company to pick it up. See if you can find this info online, its pretty interesting. anyway, if you like movies like resevoir dogs, and others that take a different road than most, you will love this movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New cult classic
Review: What can I say, I'm an old-school Italian, and my best friend is an old-school 300lb 6'4" Irish lad. For the first time ever I saw him cry during a movie! I have it encoded in both real and WMP format, and will cherish this movie for a long long time. I rented it out of curiosity, and purchased it the next day. I my whole DVD collection... like 5 in 5 years, Boondock Saints ranks amongst the top one percent. This movie is an instant classic for all those who see wrong in the world. Even if nothing much is being done... one can dream a little dream.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good or Great...Tough Choice
Review: The above words cannot ring more true. The Boondock Saints is an AMAZING movie. Personally I am glad the screenwriter did not let the movie industry decide who was to play the main characters.. If that would have happened, the entire movie would have been worthless.

I liked this movie better than The Matrix, and "Crouching Tiger.." combined. It is a DEFINATE must-see. If you are worried about the steep pricing on it, rest assured it is not without good cause. The publisher has a tight grip on who they sell to. (smart move in my book). I saw it once and bought it immediatly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boondock Saints is amazing
Review: After seeing this movie once it became one of my favorites. At times it is somewhat Pulp Fictionish, and it seems like a shootem' up but its not. it has almost too much plot. The music goes along with the movie perfectly. It is very powerful in that it plays with the emotions. I put this movie up with American Beauty, which is one of my other favorite movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: irish people dont miss this tight action flick
Review: 1st of all, if you're not irish, no one is perfect

but this move is bad arse: funny and lotsa gun fighting its bout these 2 irish brothers that are devout catholics believing they receive a calling from god to exterminate all bad people (sinners) they have help from a guy named rocko nicknamed the funny man who has some real good jokes to tell funny movie and action packed trust me you wont be dissapointed (plus this movie isnt too well known so you can impress your friends with this one)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A blessing of a movie!
Review: Fraternal twins, the MacManus brothers turn vigilante in this hidden gem of a movie. It's dark, it's suddenly violent, and it's even funny at times. But the best part is that with Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as the heavily accented strict Irish Catholic brothers, it is about as sexy as you can get. Defoe gets star billing as a homosexual overachieving detective and Billy Connolly makes a surprise appearence, but it's the brothers that make this one of those movies you'll be glad you found. Be the first on your block to see it, and spread the word. Your friends will think you know ALL the good movies and wonder how you found it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!!
Review: just saw this movie tonight with a friend....its a big shooteruper, but its great...cant beleive ive never seen it till tonight.....im gonna order it right now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This movie is awesome! The storyline is well written and probably the best directing i've seen since pulp fiction. Although it stars no big name actors, the young cast fit the roles perfectly and have excellent chemistry.

The movie centres on two irish guys who get mixed up with international crime mobs. They undertake a mission from god to bring vigilante justice to all the maffia bosses who are getting off scot free.

The public and media love dub them the "boondock saints" while the police admire them for cutting the red tape and are only half hearted in tracking them down.

This movie is a must see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An outstanding debate of vigilante justice
Review: Boondock Saints is a title rooted in heavy philosophical issues, such as "Does the justice system truly work?" and "Why not let the people take the law into their own hands?". Yet, Boondock Saints borders masterfully between staying true to it's subject and not becoming bogged down in the issue. Funny, clever, cunning, and sometimes shocking, Boondock Saints delivers a captivating story, superbly written and artfully acted.
