Summary: The Saints, A love / hate relationship...
Review: This movie was introduced to me by a friend of mine. The first time I saw it, I didn't know what to expect. I assumed this was going to be simpily some low budget b-side movie. I was pleasently suprised! When sharing this movie with others, Most will love the movie, or hate it. It seems as though the "Boondock Saints" have more of a cult status/following. Lot's of guns, Irish Accents, Few pints of Guiness, and a Quintin Tarentino style movie format make this one of the best movies on my List. If you like "Pulp Fiction" & "Resivor Dogs" You'll Love This One!

Summary: One of the better movies I've seen lately
Review: A friend of mine told me about this movie and guaranteed I'd love it. While the "Boondock Saints" isn't revolutionary, it is a great movie on its own. Sean Patrick Flanery (Powder) and Norman Reedus (Blade 2) play two Irish brothers who believe themselves to be ordained by God to be vigilantes. Both begin killing members of the Russian mafia the police can't touch while gay FBI agent Willem Dafoe tracks them down, but feels what they are doing is right. Flanery and Reedus both shine and give the best performances of their young careers, while Dafoe proves he is an extremely versatile actor (just see him in Shadow of the Vampire), and he gives one of his best performances as well (the exchange between him and his lover was so funny I fell out of my chair laughing). "Boondock Saints" is a rather violent movie that fans of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs will enjoy, even though the storyline and plot are a bit thin, but this is a rather good movie that is a lot better than a lot of the current big budget films in theaters now. I just feel sorry for that poor cat.

Summary: Mindless Violence
Review: The Boondock Saints is an awesome movie! The script, and the acting was great. It is a comedy/action movie. Basically, it is about two guys who think that they need to rid the streets of all of the evil people in the world. The one problem with the movie, is that the f-word is used in almost every sentence in the whole movie. If you don't mind that though, or the violence, you'll love this movie

Summary: best ... movie ever, period
Review: if you haven't seen this movie, it is imperative that you go see it now. read no more reviews, waste no more time. go rent it NOW. while you're out renting it you might as well buy it, cause you will watch it over and over and over. there is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. nothing. if you have problems with the movie, if you do not like it, if you think it is too violent, if you think the acting was under par, i recommend watching it again and changing your mind.

Summary: Fun & entertaining movie - even after 20+ viewings!
Review: ... Boondock Saints is incredibly well done. As far as I know, this is Troy Duffy's first movie effort (if not first American movie) and it is superb. Read the other reviews for what it's all about - and go out and get it. You won't be disappointed. It is in a class all its own, so I can't really compair it to anything else - it's a comedy at times, a drama at times, and a bit of a moral dilemma. I particularly liked the citizen comments at the end of the movie... Also, the music on the movie is kickin'! I wish they had made a soundtrack, but they didn't. If you haven't seen this - go to the video store now - or better yet, buy a copy - you'll end up doing that anyway. I've seen it over 20 times and I never tire of it...

Summary: Best stinkin' movie you can buy!
Review: This movie is great. I am not one of those people who enjoys action movies very much, but after being forced to watch it by one of my guy buddies I am forever in his debt. Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus are amazing actors. They bring their parts to life in a convincing and entertaing way, making you wish that the movie wasn't about to end. I recommend this movie to everyone I talk to! Buy it! You won't regret it!

Summary: Great Movie, but wait for the American edition on DVD
Review: This is without a doubt one of the greatest movies (if not the greatest) ever made. Troy Duffy definately knew what to do to make a phenomenal film. Unfortunately, the import DVD has nothing in the line of extras. I'd wait for the U.S. edition to come out in May, so you don't end up buying two copies like me.

Summary: The coolest movie i have ever seen
Review: I bought this movie like 2 years ago and we watched it so many times that it broke. No joke! I watched it a ton. we took this movie on trips, to friends houses, and my dad even took it to work. i love this movie so much that i have to get it again, because mine broke because we watched it so much. i am buying it on dvd now just so it won't break. I am hoping that it doesn't break. The only reason i didn't have it on dvd is because i didn't have dvd. but now that i got dvd i am going to get it on dvd because it is the coolest movie in the whole world. I would watch this with my friends and even they loved it. It is just the coolest movie on the face of this planet. So i give it a five star because of it. Who ever made this movie should try to make a Boondock Saints 2 because it is the coolest. The person who made this movie, well the person who came up with the movie is an absolute genius. you should make more movies like this because i loved it so much

Summary: summary
Review: This film is about the work of God to rid the world of the corrupt by two Faithful Irish men living in South Boston, the MacManus brothers. The movie opens on St. Patrick's Day with the two brothers in a Catholic service. The priest states that we must all fear evil men and the indifference of good men.
The brothers and their friends, including our comic relief and member of the Italian mob, Don Della Rocco, are at MacGintey's bar, owned by a character suffering Terret's Syndrome by the name of "Doc," when a trio of Russian crime syndicates demand the bar closed. (Apparently, the Russians are putting buildings up all over the neighborhood.) A bar-fight breaks out between the two groups and eventually ends in the MacManus brothers killing the Russians out of self-defense. They turn themselves into the police and are put into a holding cell so they don't have to face the media swarming the station. In the night, they are awakened simultaneously and receive a relevation that they are to "Destroy that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish." Accordingly, the rest of the movie is about these boys, with the help of their friend Rocco, killing the corrupt of South Boston. The main concerns in contemporary North American life that Boondock Saints seem to be addressing is that many people have lost their Faith in God and have committed great acts against Him. "There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and see we three and on that day, you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish" (MacManus brothers in the court scene). God has apparently ordained the MacManus men to judge the corrupt and remove them from His perfect world so that the good may thrive. "Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet, the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful strike and hammer of God." The values stated by Murphy MacManus in the court scene, are the following: "do not kill, do not rail, do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace." (To 'rail' can mean many things including "to flow, or gush down, usually said of blood; to jest or to rally; or to brag or boast.") The film is filled with murder and profanity. Overall, however, this movie is definitely one worth watching.
