Summary: So much potential, so little result.
Review: Oye vey. A kid at work recommended this flick to me and said it really gave competition to Reservior Dogs. Now being a loyal and die-hard Tarentino fan, I thought 'What the hell' and rented it. As soon as I was done with it, I knew that Duffy was trying to make his own Pulp Fiction and almost had it. Almost. First off, Willem Dafoe does a briliant job and I think it even rivaled his performance in The Last Temptation of Christ, but beyond that the flick's got weak written al over it. The story line is jumpy which can be good, but without sharp editing it ceases to have that Pulp anti-flow. The brothers are convincing, but it's little things like leaving out the mom on-the-phone-scene that burns my ass. I mean, that was brilliant! Why in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Almighty did he have to go and take it out? I do like it more near the end, when I think that amatuer director Duffy finally woke up and realized how to make a movie. Sorry for being so harsh, but it's true. By the time the courtroom scene came up I honestly felt like watching more but that was the end of the story. If he ever makes a sequel to it I'll put my faith into it, but only true fans of the flick should buy it.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: If you love artistic and thought evoking films, then Boondock Saints is definately a movie to see. The cast is incredible...Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flannery are so amazingly convincing in their brotherly love that it is almost impossible not to root for them. When the two deeply religious bothers Conner and Murphy both dream about the indifference of good men (a subject that they heard in a church service on Sunday), they take matters into their own hands in an outstanding effort of vigilantism. Whether you agree with the message or not, it is definately worth seeing.

Summary: Out in the Boondocks
Review: Director Troy Duffy brings "The Boondock Saints" to a hard boil quckly, but lets his movie boil over the top by the last act. Lots of Tarantino-esque gunplay and a well-paced story make this one fun to watch. As stylishly gritty as "Boondock Saints" is, however, it wanders into Campville one too many times to pack a serious punch. Casting bloated porn star Ron Jeremy as a flashy gangster with a fondness for adult entertainment can be forgiven (to his credit, Jeremy handles his walking punchline of a role with considerable competence), but Willem Dafoe's scenery chewing as a self-loathing homosexual cop seriously marrs this otherwise promising crime drama.

Summary: Really strange...
Review: Maybe I watched a wrong version of this movie, but I could not see any of the great things all the people are talking about. The story of the movie is quite boring. Two irish boys taking the law into their own hands and shootimg some mafia, or other bad guys. One FBI agent is hunting them, and realizes that he thinks these guys are some kind of cool...
Okay, can be that this story could be interesting if it would not have set in scene in such a bad way. You see stereotypes all the time! The bad guys are kind of stupid and the "good" guys are clever and lucky. Sound like a fairy tale. I guess it is. However, I don't want to lose too many words about this film since it stole enough of my time. Just wanted to warn you. I read all these could critics and though this could be a good movie. I really tried to find something good, but it was too hard!

Summary: Entertaining? Yes. Best Movie Ever? Hell no.
Review: I must say that for sheer entertainment 'The Boondock Saints' is well done. I must say that for an idea for a movie, very cool. But as for execution of putting these ideas into a legitamite mobster piece, piss-poor. At times I was thinking, "wow, that is so cool how they did that scene", or wow, that was hilariously funny", and at other times (most times) I was thinking "is it possible to act that poorly?", or "did the humor of that entire scene rely solely on the use of the 'F' word"? Complaints: Casting is bad (William Defoe?- go away), Humor at times funny but rarely clever (see Snatch for clever humor), and the ending is predictable and anti-climactic. I dunno, I know a lot of my friends hate me for saying this movie sucked, but stacked up against other gangster movies (and I've seen them all multiple times) this one does indeed suck. Just wanted to warn you that at least one guy (this guy) didn't find it all that great. So don't blame me when your haughty expectations (I once had them) are let down.

Summary: Veritas and Aequitas
Review: Boondock Saints is the best movie I have ever seen! Troy Duffy did an amazing job with the movie... And I have always been a fan of his band Boondock Saints as well. Check out there CD, it's great, and his band played most of the tracks in the movie... It's a great movie to watch if you've been to Southie (South Boston), you'll recognize a lot of the places in which this movie takes place. It's got great action and if you have any taste in film at all you will enjoy this movie... In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti

Summary: Now in my top 3 favorite movies!
Review: This movie is incredible! I really didn't think that I'd enjoy it because I had to watch it in my Film class at school, but I loved it. And right after I got out of class I went and rented it and watched it again and again and again. I honestly don't know what it is about this movie that is so intriguing, but it is. Maybe it's the fact that it's left with such uncertainty of whether or not you should consider the two main characters heroes or not. I think that's what the ending credits are supposed to prove - that the film makers weren't trying to make you think these guys are heroes, but they weren't making them out as villians either. It's up to YOU to decided that. The movie is just done so beautifully, and it's one of my favorite indies to date. It's definately a great movie. And I think it's obvious that the film wasn't made for any particular sex. It's great for both male and female film fans. What I really loved about this film, though, is that it's not just hardcore action and blowing up of things. There's meaning behind all of it. It really leaves you thinking about all the events so you can decided whether or not you want to believe these guys are good or bad. I know I wasn't disappointed in the film, and I know that no one I know was disappointed in the film... I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to movies, and this one certainly got my attention. I recommend this movie to every open-minded individual who is a fan of films. ***** 5 stars
