Movie Reviews of Boondock Saints (Unrated Special Edition)
Movie Review: Sometimes, when choosing a movie,
Summary: 2 Stars
I want to see things blown up, a mounting body count and a bloody hero triumphing unrealistically over extreme evil. It was with such thoughts that I rented this movie. But....while this movie was obviously made with real enthusiasm and good humour, it was done so cheaply, and edited so badly that it becomes a game of count the goofs, rather than watch the movie. The plot was definitely thin, the dialog mostly fbombs, and the acting by Dafoe, one of my favorites, simply stunk. Too bad, the movie missed all the way around.
Summary of Boondock Saints (Unrated 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 FetzerExplore 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!
