Movie Reviews of The Boondock Saints
Movie Review: Excellent! Buy it, you won't regret it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Boondock Saints is well written, well directed, has great action sequences (although much better in the NC-17 version), it has a morality issue to ponder, religious theme, great acting, good music, and if all that wasn't enough...it's hilarious! It's a shame that this movie got no play in the US. For an indie film from a first time writer/director it's a great movie. It's completely entertaining, which is unfortuately rare. Honest to goodness, ladies...Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus in the same flick, it doesn't get much better than that!...you can tell that they became good friends from making this movie, it's so obvious on screen that it makes them totally believable as brothers. There is a huge underground cult-like following of this movie, and for good reason! (I was hiking in the rainforests of Costa Rica, reciting lines from the movie and had people passing by who knew the movie that were from several other countries!)To all those who understood the realness and greatness of this movie and gave it a good review here: "Thanks for comin' out!"
Movie Review: Vigilante Killing at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars
Boondock Saints is about to brothers (they are twins) that take it upon themselves to rid the city of boston of high level criminals. When I first heard of this movie i thought it would be complete trash but then i watched it and realized the beauty of it. You don't have to be a catholic (like the brothers) to apprieciate this movie. It is somewhat based on religion but not entirely because there are no prolonged interpretations they just take their strength from their religion.
Not only did this movie have great action scenes it had moments of comic relief and even eliquent speeches culminating in the final speech (if you see it you know what I am talking about) Better than any Tarintino film (but then again i don't really care for tarintino that much so don't take stock based on that comparison)
If you are looking for a movie that has great action get this movie
If you are looking for a movie that is serious but often funny get this movie
If you are looking for a movie with inspiring mono/dialogues get this movie
Movie Review: The single most fabulous film I have ever laid eyes on!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen a great many movies. Many have been quite terrific. However, this movie brought upon itself, a new brand of quality film making! I saw it for the first time on video, and was disappointed to see that it was no longer for sale in the United States in stores. I did find a used copy at a local Blockbuster. I am now thrilled I can enjoy this movie on the quality of a DVD. And the price is more than reasonable; it's a steal! By all means, please see this movie! It has a good dialogue and plot, and shows the passion and conviction that brings two brothers to take the law into their own hands, and the Russian mafia to its knees. It shows grittiness and heart. It leaves you much to discuss; and that is the mark of a remarkable film. I have seen the movie more times than I can count. It's a shame it was as overlooked as it was by the general public (in my eyes). It did not recieve enough credit. Grab this movie while you have the privledge to! Believe me, if you give it a chance, you'll have it on your own top movies list in no time! It's my #1!!!!Movie Review: wow
Summary: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to this movie three years ago. Since then, I have bought multiple copies, given them away as gifts, and cherished my own. Over the years, I have held multiple showings of this film, and have really only met 4 or 5 people who haven't enjoyed it. This might be in part due to the folks I'm showing to of course - mostly college age kids, and friends of my brother... - Those who have objected to the film have done so on moral grounds. Either they feel there is too much violence, or they feel that the film itself does not present a good moral message. As for the violence, there IS a lot in the film. And a lot of swearing. But I feel that the violence definitely plays a role in the film, and isn't exessive.
The moral in the story... well, there really isn't one. I think the movie is to make you THINK. It isn't black and white, and that's the point. Just watch it and you'll see!
Plus, this movie has magical powers. I swear. The number of people who have gotten dates out of this film is just mindblowing. :)
Movie Review: More than you'd expect from a B-movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Besides from a handful of laughs at cheesy, poor-written lines, I normally don't expect much from B-movies. But The Boondock Saints was a terrific movie that was well written and greatly acted out. Many of the parts in this movie have either been done before or are based off something that has been done before (IE The Pulp Fiction-esque out-of-order screenwork), but it worked. All three actors (Dafoe, Flanery, Reedus) all do tremendous work. Some of the my favorite scenes were"
"Coming through the ceiling"
"The shootout with El Duche"
"Rocko with his Muush-mush mask"
My only complaints with this film is that sometime the dialogue is hard to understand through the Irish accents and the scene with Willem Dafoe and his classical music forensic scene. But besides that this film is entertaining from start to finish.
Though Boondock Saints may have not done well in the theaters, this is truly a cult classic flick in the making. Check it out for yourself. Chances are you'll love it.
