I liked the movie but not all of the foul language and brief nudity. If you can get past all of that and you like crime/gangster movies, give it a try.

This film starts off well, but slowly begins to spiral into just pure stupid. It tries to be at the same level as other great crime films, such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir. In its attempt to do so it fails miserably. The action is sometimes laughable and just awkward to watch, it's not a BAD film, but it's not as great as people make it out to be.

The Boondock Saints tries to go the Tarantino route, but fails miserably. The vengeance motif is painfully overblown and contrived, complete with a brotherly prayer before each death. Willem Dafoe is wasted as a cop, even being featured in arguably the worst scene. He dramatically pieces together a crime scene, with classical music being played in the background. A terrible movie trying to be a Ritchie/Tarantino flick. Avoid at all costs.

Boondock Saints could have been a good movie, but with it's cheap production values, over the top gun fighting scenes, and cheesy dialogue it swings an misses. Because of it's numerous 'fanboys' it's become quite a cult hit and, quite frankly, very overrated. While this DVD edition is decent, (although it has the always good William Dafoe) it doesn't make up for the fact that this is a sub-par movie with no brains; I'd give it 2.5 stars, but since I can't, I'll round it down to 2. So Skip this movie and try the brilliant "The Departed" instead.

This movie is perfect for any movie night your hosting or even just to watch by yourself! It does have a bit of cussing in it, but it is also rate R. It has a great and believable plot, with a couple twists in it. It's not one of those movies that shows unbelievable amounts of gore. I highly suggest buying this movie!

One of the best shoot em' up revenge movies ever! Sequel is not that great, but the first is amazing! Rugged, with a touch of humor too. Sean Patrick Flannery looks super hot in it too.
What's great about it: Rugged, with a touch of humor too
What's not so great: Sequel is not that great, but the first is amazing!

Years ago I was looking for great, yet unheard of movies. I came across this movie on the internet. It had Willem Dafoe in it and I always liked his acting so, after reading the reviews I decided to buy the movie on DVD without ever seeing it (DVDs were a bit costly at the time). I had to order it from Canada because it wasn't being sold in the states yet. I watched the movie and fell in love with it! I don't usually like violent movies but this one was different. I liked how the brothers were religious and had good heads on their shoulders. I loved how Dafoe explained how the "crimes" happened reenacting it in slow motion while classical music was playing. Dafoe made it (dare I say) poetic. Almost like a dance with bullets flying and blood dripping. I recommended it to several friends and they have all enjoyed the movie. I've always wanted it on Blu Ray but it was too costly for my budget. Then I found it at a bargain at Best Buy so I ordered it ASAP and have enjoyed watching it in Blu Ray. I only wish the Blu Ray included a digital copy! That was the only drawback. It was still worth the wait and the money to make sure this one is in my Blu Ray collection. It is action packed, violent, poetic and looks great on Blu Ray!
What's great about it: Slow Motion Reenactment of "Crimes"
What's not so great: No Digital Copy on the Blu Ray Disc
