Summary: What a movie!!!
Review: I haven't seen a good movie for so long and finally, by chance, I saw it on TV and BOY did I love it! This is gotta be one of my favorite movies of all time; it's entertaining, funny at times, and action packed. I have to say though that this movie is a bit messed up, and what I mean by that is that it's one of those movies that is not traditional AT ALL! (that's what's good about it) Most movies are very the same, follow a certain format and most of the times it is easy or "kind of" easy to predict what's going to happen next, as for this movie it's the very opposite. You have no idea what's going to happen, and just when you think it's all over they throw a curve at you,... I recomend this movie to EVERYONE! However, there is one thing that I must say before you pick this movie up. Sometimes when a movie is rated R it can still pass for someone younger viewer but NOT this one. The cursing rate is about 10 words per minute, and the violence is BRUTAL, so don't let you kids watch this one, it's good but not for them. That's all, and I know a good movie whan I see one,... pick this movie up next time you want to rent something, thanx

Summary: i dont hate to tell the truth
Review: this movie is not that good. here is the problem: imitation. everything in this movie has been done as well or better in some other movie. the dialogue is cheesy, the acting is horrible, other than defoe, and the whole movie is bits and pieces of what the director has seen in past movies. most likely tarentino films, which other than dusk til dawn, cant be touched by anyone. as for the violence, we have seen that as well. make it more over the top, you can never have to much insane violence in a movie. the directing was done well, but it was all deja vu. nothing that interested me, when the cat was on the table i thought to myself, they are going to kill the cat, oh and look what happened. totally predictable, totally stupid.

Review: The Boondock Saints is a really good movie. I think that Willem Dafoe was not up to his usual great self (see Platoon, The Last Temptation Of Christ, Shadow Of The Vampire, etc.). His acting was a little too over-the-top for my liking. However, everything else about this movie is great! The brothers were perfect, and the supporting cast played their parts well. The action was hypnotic, and the dialogue is some of the best for the genre. If not for Willem's excess, I might've given the film a 5.

Summary: Tarrantino WISHES he was this cool!
Review: Ok by the nick I use you guessed probably could guess I was a huge fan of this movie. So when I saw amazon was actually selling it (WELL DONE!!!!) i decided to review it. Well I guess I should explain why I loved it:
Criminally under-exposed I came across this movie by chance, Willem Defoe being a great actor persuaded me to see this movie, and oh my word.

Ultra violent yet strangely moral, ultra hip, insanely funny, this movie has EVERYTHING, including a hillarious scene where one character seems to find a 1000 uses for the F-Word and a scene involving a cat - i wont give no more away because its unexpected.

The McManus brothers are two Boston Irish brothers, working in a meat factory and spending their nights in a local bar. Until the russian mob comes along and a fight breaks out, with the mob looking to take revenge on the two brothers that humiliate them, they escape with the aid of a toilet (no im not joking) and kill the two mobsters.... this sets the scene for Willem Defoe to join the movie as an FBI agent. With the two brothers believing they are some kind of blues brothers with semi-automatics they set out under "orders of god" to rid society of its bad elements. With Defoe closing in on the two and a mob-runner friend helping them out.

Defoe is as ever excellent, Flannery and Reedus great as the brothers and the hillarious guy who plays Rocco looks like Mick Foley with a foul mouth. Even Billy Connolly the great scottish comedian, and The porn Legend Ron Jeremy have bit part roles.

The soundtrack is done by Director Troy Duffy's band The Boondock Saints, and fits the story well, the action and bloodshed while excessive are stylish and some of the movie is beautifully shot, and filled if you care to notice with catholic reference and symbolism that adds explanation and believability to the plot (the tattoos on the broters hands "Veritas" and "Aequitas" means truth and justice, something very symbolic to their "mission"), to top it all of the dialogue is fantastic and very very funny, and the visual comedy element is just right.

Tarrantino must have been gutted he didnt make this himself, but the fact that until recently hardly anyone noticed this movie, and that it never really got a proper distrobution due to contractal and production problems with Miramax is terrible.
This movie should be experieced by EVERYONE, many may find it cliched or predictable or just too excessive for their tastes, but its truly a fantastic gem of a movie and I cant rate it highly enough.

While I must concede it probably isnt the best movie ever made, I cant claim it to be the most original or well choreographed or whatever, what matters is that its probably my favourite, and what eventually will be remembered is how well a film is regarded not how well it was made, the success of films that were critical flops proves it, and this movie is head and shoulders above any of those.

Regardless of how big or small a hit it eventually is, it will never leave my collection in any of the 3 forms I currently own it in.

Summary: Watch this Flick
Review: If you like movies that are outside the box you will love this one. Troy Duffy weaves a web of brotherhood, morals, and vigilantism in a well shot film. The scences are shown in what you will first think is no picticular order but if you are quick you will see a pattern. The scence selection is like Pulp Fiction but they flow better. This movie combines comedy, oneliners and action in a way new to me. The charcters are dynamic and the plot is sound. I like Papa Joe. This is a movie that I bought after the first viewing. Enjoy

Summary: The Greatest Unknown Movie of All Time
Review: Every once in awhile Hollywood lets a true gem of a movie slip beneath the radar and into obscurity. Thankfully, the video market has started to recognize the genius of Troy Duffy's masterpiece.

The Boondock Saints tells the story of Murphy and Connor McManus, two Irish brothers, orphaned at a young age, and living in a poor Boston neighborhood. An altercation with the Russian mob results in the brothers seemingly receiving a message from God - "Destroy that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish." Their subsequent crusade results in a moral conflict for the authorities, the community, and the viewers - Is killing in the name of "Good" morally correct? Watch, and decide.

Summary: Disturbing, but compelling
Review: My daughter brought a borrowed copy of this movie home from college for the weekend. I thought Willem Dafoe was over-the-top, and the film was way too violent. But I have to admit that I can't stop thinking about thinking about the film, and the moral issues involved. My daughter says it's the best movie ever.
