Editorial Review:
Explore the harrowing world of The Boondock Saints as never before in this Unrated Special Edition! Digitally remastered for extraordinary picture quality and exploding in 5.1 EX Dolby Surround Sound, this definitive two-disc edition of the cult phenomeno
Description of The Boondock Saints:
Charismatic young stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus play two Irish brothers, Connor and Murphy, who believe themselves ordained by God to rid the world of evil men. Their first killing is in self-defense; but after that, they start killing with devotion, gunning down a summit of the Russian mafia. Willem Dafoe plays a gay FBI agent (he listens to opera while examining crime scenes) who knows what the boys are doing but feels that their vigilante tactics are necessary. There's not much plot to The Boondock Saints--it's mostly a series of violent scenes in which the boys are partially ingenious and partially lucky. The movie seems to want to provoke debate about vigilantism, but the scenario is too implausible to stir any real controversy. The peculiar mix of earnestness and machismo will not appeal to everyone, but it's certainly unique and may acquire a cult following. --Bret Fetzer
The Boondock Saints Reviews:
4.5 Stars, Really? 
2009-12-23 - Saw this movie after a buddy of mine highly reccomended it. The acting is garbage, the plot even worse and there seems to be many gay undertones outside of Dafoe's character. I'm guessing the popularity of this pile of garbage can be attributed to many people thinking they are an Irish bad ass because there great great grandmother was a quarter Irish. This movie makes "The Punisher" look like a masterpiece.
Boondock St.s 
2009-12-22 - If you like Guy Richie type shoot'em ups you'll love this movie. Besides it's set in Boston, one of the greatest cities in the good old USA.
Blu-ray goodness
2009-12-22 - Was happy with my purchase of this classic movie :), came faster than I expected.
How Did I Miss It??
2009-12-18 - I can't believe I never caught this movie the first time around. I went to see the sequel and immediately decided I needed to catch up. I barely found a copy at my local Blockbuster (one of those "Oh it just came in" moments) and watched it twice. I'm here writing a review because I just finished buying it. There is an extremely erudite review already posted here, so I won't belabor the point. It's just this...if you liked Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Once Upon A Time in Mexico, or Good Fellas, you will love this flick and probably, like me, want to have it in your library. It's one of those movies you can watch again and again...dare I say it? A cult classic, for sure, but only for those that get the joke. When Saints II becomes available, I'm getting that one too.
any one who doesnt like this
