Redundant and unnecessary.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

IMHO, this movie is just a typical hollywood excuse for violence and killing. It's almost like porno movies--just a thin plot line so as to mostly show sex. I must admit, though, that there was a bit more plot than in a porno movie. Having said that, my main complaint is against the premise of the story--that God would have sent these men to kill off a bunch of bad guys. Folks, I know God, and I know that He doesn't go around killing sinners. Yes, He does let them reap what they sow, but He is always reaching out in love, and waiting for even the most vile of persons to turn to Him and repent, and receive His love. It is in reality Satan that is going around killing as many as he can, by taking advantage of their foolishness and sinfulness. don't celebrate the killing of anyone--it was always possible for them to turn around and get saved, and that's how the Lord sees it.

I have reviewed about 60 films on this site, I'm really not that into it. But occasionally I see a film that I have to say something about. "The Boondock Saints" is one of those movies. It's a bloody comedy crime film. It's also a bloody good time. The writing is not as clever as a Tarantino film but certainly very good on it's own. The movie is about a pair of Irish brothers who takes justice into their own hands to kill mobsters in Boston. In pursuit of them is an FBI agent who is seriously conflicted. He knows they are criminals but as the same time he wish he could be them. The agent is played by the great Willem Dafoe, who plays the role just over the top to chew up and steal every scene, without destroying the movie. I think the problem with this movie was that its release was not well handled The scene were the brothers fell through the ceiling. Alone had it been featured on the TV ad. Would guarantee at least 1 million tickets sold. The filmmaking was excellent. I think the director Troy Duffy might actually be better than Quentin Tarantino behind the camera what he needs is a better writer (Duffy wrote the screenplay by the way).

I can't say I fully understand the zeal of "The Boondock Saints'" (1999) cult following, but I had fun with it — I'd give it an 8 out of 10 for being unusual and unexpectedly diverting.I don't really see it as a crime thriller — it's more like an absurdly violent situation-comedy. It borrows its tone and style from 1994's "Pulp Fiction," not to mention its own shock-comedy throwaway scene involving an accidentally discharged sidearm.Like its superior inspiration, its formula is creating quirky, likable characters with some funny dialogue, and then raising the tension by placing them in the midst of graphic violence. It mostly succeeds — Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus' characters are endearing, cool and easy to root for. I laughed out loud a few times, and I can see how their telegenic antiheroes would attract a devoted fandom.The directing seemed choppy and even amateurish. I noticed this right from the opening credits, which are awkwardly spliced with the on screen introduction of the main characters.The screen writing is a little spotty, too — we're never told, for example, how its two protagonists come to be such proficient assassins. (Are they former military? Is there a joke here I'm missing about them being "blessed," consistent with the "saints" motif and all the references to Catholicism?) Nor do we get much meaningful information about their motivations. (Their bloody crusade begins only when they kill several gangsters in self- defense, then they seem to pursue a life of vigilantism as an afterthought.) Finally, our antiheroes seem refreshingly real and identifiable, while other characters (Willem Dafoe's detective and Billy Connolly's mafia hit-man) seem cartoonish enough to populate a farce like "The Naked Gun" series).Again, though — this was fun. I'd recommend it.

Well,i finally got around to seeing this movie.my roommate raved bout it for years.did I like it?the only word that comes to mind is meh.i didn't like or hate it.it's a crime drama/action film.lots of blood and guts.one thing I should mention-the f bomb(or any of it variations) is dropped almost every other word,sometimes even more frequently.coarse language doesn't bother me generally,but I think they way over did it on that score.as far as crime drama/action movies ate concerned.this one is somewhere in the middle of the pack.it definitely wasn't worth the hype.it/s rated pretty high on this site(7.9).I wouldn't rate it that high myself.i noticed there is a sequel ,which I am on the fence about seeing after being disappointed in this one.for me,The Boondock Saints is a 5/10
