This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Many questions come into play when viewing a film, especially when it deals with religion in a way. Irish, true Catholics and devout to their beliefs. The film is about two Irish Catholic brothers from Boston (played by Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery) who mistakenly and accidentally kill two Russian mob men after a bar fight. Being honorable men, they turn themselves in only to be deemed heroes by the police force.
Willem Dafoe is the prideful FBI agent tasked to bring them in but believes these men a re necessary evils on the fight against crime. A wild ride filled with violence, action, extreme cursing, humor and driven by the character development of the two brothers.
Added bonus is having Billy Connelly in the film with a few surprise twists. The film is fast-paced, well written and performances are excellent. You will not be disappointed by the film at all, a solid 8/10

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).

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

I have watched The Boondock Saints many times and each time it just gets better and better.Norman Reedus does a phenomenal job playing Murphy MacManus. Norman Reedus fits the physical appearance and the acting skill to pull off such a masterful job. Sean Patrick Flanery also does a phenomenal job playing Connor MacManus. Such an intense actor, who just shoots off amazing vibes as Connor.Pro: The film itself is quite well shot, with surprising twists at every corner. Bullets spraying in the past, present, and even more in the future! A movie that keeps the heart racing.Con: I can't think of one to be quite honest.
