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 phenomenon features deleted scenes, outtakes, two audio commentaries, a printable script and more!
Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the brutal murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they've been chosen to rid the world of evil. But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston's underworld, Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes?and joining them!
Description of The Boondock Saints - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition):
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 - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
Terrible movie 
2009-12-28 - I'm not sure how a movie could get much worse.
A boring, nonsensical plot? Check.
Lack of character motivation? Check.
Poor acting? Check.
My friends and I couldn't even make it all the way through this movie. One of the top ten worst of all time.
Boondock Saints Blu-Ray 
2009-12-27 - I had ignored this movie for years because I felt like the hype over-shadowed the movie. All I would hear was how it was the best movie ever, etc. Finally caved and got it at a good price. Eh, it's a good movie, NOT this epic cinematic masterpiece I heard about for 10 years.
Great Movie, Not for Children! 
2009-12-27 - This movie is one of the best in the 'vigilante' genre of movies. Gritty and down-to-earth like the "Dirty Harry" series, more believable than the "Death Wish" series, and Willem Defoe in an unforgettable role make this a must-see for anyone who likes the genre.
Warning: the profanity is thick in this movie; the F-bomb gets dropped over 20 times in about 30 seconds in one scene.
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.
