Editorial Review:
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:
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
2009-12-07 - i dont know how anyone can hate this movie its insane and awesome cant wait to see the second one
great service but hated the movie! 
2009-12-02 - I received my DVD in a timely manner, but hated the movie & turned it off after 15 min.
Awesome Movie
2009-12-02 - This movie is by far one of my top 5 favorite of all time. I love the action, the love between two brothers sort of reminds me of me and mine. I use to own the dvd, but desided to upgrade to bluray. The sound and picture are amazing. I recommend this to anyone.
John Woo as filtered through a 20-something manchild's sticky retard fingers 
2009-11-26 - Amateurishly written and directed, an overt message movie with an appalling message, and the single most derivative movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. The next time you see a male, aged 16-25, deriding the tween demographic that has unleashed Twilight upon us, just remind him of this cinematic afterbirth. Eventually he's probably going to grow up and forsake this trash.
