Summary: doing evil to achieve good?
Review: I didn't know what I was getting into when I first saw this film. It had me crawling up the back of my seat in the theater, and elicited more than a few visceral yawps. Stylized, intelligent violence is something we should all be more ambivalent about, but it is a fitting device for this film. Two characters stumble into a career exacting God's justice, and never doubt either that God's providence is at work in them or that they are a lesser form of the scum they eliminate. It confronts directly the use of vigilante violence for the sake of justice, something that has become more complicated for us after September 11.

Summary: Originality Elsewhere, Excellence Right Here
Review: It was inevitable, I suppose, after the success of 'Resevoir Dogs', 'Pulp Fiction', and the increasing cult-status popularity of Guy Ritchie's two entries in the genre, that other films would go the quirky route and try their hand at the same style of comedy/drama/HK cinema. This is Mike Duffy's first and ONLY film on the market, and if he never makes another one, it won't matter, because he hit a home run on the first swing.

It's quite simplistic in plot when compared to 'Lock, Stock...' or even 'Pulp', but that isn't a bad thing. It has the frenetic pace of those movies, and a similarly comedic take on their various characters; not to mention the non-linear storytelling those films are now quite famous for.

But the casting is brilliant; and Willem Dafoe puts in a great (and sometimes scary) performance as the know-it-all FBI agent with a change of heart. The whole film's endlessly quotable.

Summary: Vigilante Saints
Review: Vigilante killers sweep the dregs of Boston, targetting all manner of bad guys: mobsters, killers, and drug dealers alike. Taking the proverb, "An eye for an eye," to the extreme end, this film raises question to one's belief system through controversial situations it presents. "The Boondock Saints" is a must-see film.

Summary: Top 10
Review: Plain and simple, one the best movies I have ever seen. Unreal. Finally a movie where everyone, even the cops in the film cheer for the bad guys. Has everything you could want in a movie; action, adventure, plot, intelligence, amazing cinematography and soundtrack, and a crazy story.

Summary: Boondock Saints
Review: I happened to rent this movie at blockbuster, only because i had seen all of the good movie that was out at the time, and because it had the catchy box cover. I didn't have very high hopes for it, i was only looking for something to pass the time. It totaly blew away any expectations i had for the movie. I looked every where on the net and couldn't find it, but was able to buy a used copy from blockbuster. I have showed this movie to about a dozen people now, and all of them have absolutly loved it, and now own there own copy. In short, this is the best movie i have seen in years. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Summary: What do you need a rope for?
Review: One week I decided to pick up Boondock Saints, simply because the cover caught my eye. For those of you that have not seen the cover it has Conner and Murphy MacManus standing up with their arms extending and their silenced pistols pointing towards the camera. Any way I rented this movie not expecting much, just to entertain me for the night....I put the movie in and was amazed, it had everything action/comedy/drama/gore/obscenities, it covered all the basics for a great movie. The dialogue is hilarious, and Conner and Murphy MacManus actually act like brothers, they fight with each other and horseplay after they killed 9 people in a room. The acting is superb, especially by Willem Dafoe, a homophobic-homosexual F.B.I. agent that won't admit that he is homosexual. The movie has the typical shoot em up style with a twist of religious interference. The editing and directing adds to the shoot em up style by showing before then after then during, it leaves you questioning what just happened because they don't show you it as it happens. It is a shame that this movie never made it to the theater, as this would be one of the movies that I would pay to see more than once. By far the best movie I have ever seen, and probably will ever see. I recommend this to anyone I know and no one has disliked it yet. See it for yourself, Troy Duffy does an amazing job writing and directing this silver screen gem.

Summary: A Holy War
Review: This is the crown jewel of my collection. To keep it short: sweet action and gripping plot. I was lucky to have found this on vhs in Blockbuster and I immediately showed it to all my friends; my sister even took it to college after I got the DVD. For mob fans, THIS IS A MUST HAVE!

Summary: Everyone's Irish On St. Patty's Day!
Review: Excellent dark comedy/drama/action movie that really delivers. Much more original and intelligent than most of the movies this one is said to copycat, Boondock Saints it witty, clever and filled with comedy. The relations between the two McManus brothers is very realistic, and very believeable.

One of the main highlights of this movie to me, was the performance by Willem Dafoe. He plays the role of a homophobic, gay FBI agent. His character is complex, multi-dimension and full of excellent dialog. Simply perfect performance!

This movie is for anyone who likes action/crime/comdey or even a dramatic film. Top notch acting, excellent scenery and superb directing by Troy Duffy. Check this movie out.

9 out of 10
