Awesome Film Deserving its Cult Status.......2007-09-12

This is one of those truly fun movies that you can watch over and over again.
Those that compare it to pulp fiction don't realize that there are not that many similarities between the two films. The greatness of this film is in
1. The chemistry between the fraternal twin brothers Murphy and Connor. The interaction between the two make up, in my humble opinion, the best, funniest, wittiest and emotionally wrought scenes in the film.
2. The out of stereotype characters that make up the other key players. *there are some stereotypical characters in this film, however, all movies have them, but they are funny and needed * Detective Smecker and Rocco are two original, well acted and interesting guys that add greatly to the film.
3. The fact that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. You are supposed to laugh, suspend belief and have fun while watching this. You are also going to cringe at the shootouts and get excited during the action scenes which are pretty damn cool.

Most reviewers for this film are guys, but I'm not, and I was tipped off to see this by a girl friend of mine. I immediately went out and got my own copy. I've watched it about 5 times, and keep finding more I like about it every time I watch it again.

Ignore the reviews that say it's a ripoff of Pulp Fiction and just try it for yourself. Personally, I can't wait for the sequel.

Bring on All Saints Day

Mindless, unrealistic violence, unconvincing characters, and an amateurish script.......2007-09-09

Where to begin...

1. The characters are unconvincing, uninteresting, and overused movie stereotypes.
2. The plot barely makes any sense. There is virtually no character development which convincingly explains why two people would go on a killing spree.
3. The story seems to have come from the mind of a pre-pubescent video gamer.
4. A pretentious overtone.

I cant even continue writing this, the entire movie sucked so bad that its too hard to even describe. Watching this was like having 5 other mediocre shoot em ups chewed up and spat out onto a DVD. There is a reason this movie got 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of the greatest cult films ever........2007-08-13

I love this movie, each time I watch it, it feels like it's better, kind of like Pulp Fiction. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.

Solid action flick, William Defoe perfectly cast, and interesting original story line.......2007-08-05

I caught the very begining of this on TV one afternoon, unfortunatly had to leave in the first 10 minutes. But, seeing William Defoe in it sparked me to rent it, and now own it. Facinating story about two highly intelligent underachieving men in Boston who decide to take justice into their own hands. William Defoe plays the FBI detective following their trail. All I can say is you have to see this one, the casting is great, and the story is original. Great action and fight scenes.

Amazing.......2007-07-15

With how many things are just wrong in this world, this movie makes it all better. The cast is amazing and the script is beautifully written! If you like action, drama, and justice- this is the movie for you.

The movie is highly recommended........2007-07-13

The fact I saw the movie after accidently eating poisoness mushrooms just enhanced the realism. It was a trip to watch this well made, well directed movie with very good acting. There is a lot of religious meaning in the movie too, so some may be offended...but these guys were sent from God to dispatch evil.

A action movie for slash fans!.......2007-06-01

Oh my god, theres a reason this movie is a cult classic. If you like guns, bad people being punished, 'Hot Fuzz' or 'The Crow' this movie is perfect for you. Dafoe was great as Detective Smecker. <3 The characters are very slash-able to! ;)

Average..........2007-06-01

It's a decent flick, nothing amazing. I don't see the big obsession, especially in recent years, this movie came out in 1999, saw it then, thought it was ok. But, why is it in 2005 it became a huge hit with teenagers, I guess when it first came out, they were too young, and there parents wouldn't let them see it. Rent before you buy. It may just not be your cup of tea.

Intense .......2007-05-23

This movie was wonderful. It was captivating and powerful, a highly theatrical tidbit of insight to just how fine the line between good and evil can be and is. I recommend this movie to all, no matter what faith you follow. Wonderful cast, fast-paced and deeply moving. Five stars is an understatement by far.

OMG!.......2007-04-30

There are so many cheesy moments in this movie it's not even funny. people who seriously think this is a "master-piece" need a medical attention. i can understand teens liking this kind of mindless action, but adults? come on. one scene i found interesting in the movie is when the FBI agent pulled out his gigantic CD player, that is so 90's :P

I love the scene we he is tied to the toilet. Yes there is alot of shooting, but this is done well. William Dafoe does a good job as the detective assigned to get the two brothers.

I Had Heard Too Much.......2006-12-25

I had never seen this movie until about 2 months ago. As soon as I watched it once I was on amazon purchasing a copy. There is so much in this movie that will have most action type people in the mood. There is mystery, action, a little twist, and the little guy standing up for what is right. This is all done with little animation which makes it seem more real. You might even be asking yourself at the end.... do I agree.

They loved it.......2005-07-09

I've never seen the movie but my step-son (22) and husband loved the movie--so did many of their friends. They give it two thumbs up!

This movie is awesome.If you have not seen this movie i say you go out and buy it or rent it just go see it...

...Bury the F***ing cat!!!.......2004-08-22

All it takes is the first five mintues and you are hooked for life. On my top ten of all time. Every single person I know that has seen this movie absolutely loves it. If you haven't seen this movie, then there's something wrong with you. You have to watch it at least five times to catch all of the details and layers that melt this masterpiece together....BUY THIS DVD. You will NOT be disappointed. Anyone that says otherwise needs to go like Pappa Joe.

Everyone needs to calm down.......2003-11-06

In the battle of style over substance, substance didn't even show up for this one. That can be fine, but the style of this movie is ugly, mindless, and derivative. It is true that there is fancy camera work, and a number of impressively loud speeches are shouted between shootouts. The director seems overjoyed for the chance to make this movie, sweeping around and extravagently showing guns blazing while. Somehow this enthusiasm has blinded people to the complete lack of any other redeeming quality: the acting and plot are intensely bad. This movie isn't just empty of quality, it's full of stinking, rotten, cheese.

"i'll have a coke".......2003-10-22

All I can say is GREAT FLICK! Funny, lots of action, and it raises interesting questions about taking the law into your own hands..."only killing for good".

Spectacular "Where's he going? No where!".......2002-11-12

The Boondock Saints was honestly the best investment I have ever made on impulse. Within 10 minutes of having started the movie, I knew I was in for something special, I was excited and on the edge of my seat. I wish I could claim to have done something for the first time that was this amazing. For a first script, and a directorial debut on an independent film budget, Troy Duffy started at the sky and worked his way up. The story itself, revolving around two Irish Bostonian brothers and there "quest" to rid the streets of Mafia bosses, druglords, and other street scum is wonderful. I don't want to go too heavily into the plot, because seeing it unfold before me was part of the pleasure I gained from watching this movie. This movie is filled with questions to the viewer as to what is morally acceptable, what stereotypes are held in society, and how much we, as humans, WANT to believe in what is going on, and are willing to keep watching wether we agree with it or not. The acting perfomances are solid across the board. I was already a big fan of Sean Patrick Flannery for his role as the Young Indiana Jones, and liked Willem Dafoe's work from Platoon and other movies. Norman Reedus was someone whom I had never heard of, but I am out looking currently to see more of his movies. The bond between Sean and Norm who play brothers was wonderful, and translated beautifully on screen. The movie is a wonderful mix of action, comedy, drama, and presents a real "thinker" movie that leaves your brain on way after the movie is cold in the player. I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Wether you like it or not at the end, its a movie worth seeing to find out. As for the DVD, as a DVD fan and collector, I have to say I was highly surprised by the extras. Deleted scenes for wonderful, and as I failed to mention earlier, show scenes differently from the movie. The movie was magicly directed, the editing was wonderful, big thumbs up to Troy Duffy just for the way he shot this film. The extra's on the DVD also include a commentary which I highly enjoyed watching and will do again. This is truly (and one of the very few in my experiences) a MUST SEE movie. I know the cult fan base is high, and I hope the movie gains more and more ground, because it is truly deserving. Can't wait to see what Troy Duffy presents us with next.

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 Fetzer

Holy Action!!.......2007-09-05

The Boondock Saints (italicize), released in 1999, could possibly be described as a "cult flick," since it never saw intense gains at the box office during its theatrical release. However, it is a fantastic drama with both memorable characters and fantastic performances from some up-and-coming Hollywood names.

Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus star as devoutly Irish Catholic twin brothers, Connor and Murphy McManus, whose chance bar fight with Russian mobsters leads them to killing two peons in self-defense. After spending a night in jail and being released without charges, the two come to believe they are supernaturally appointed to enact God's justice on evil men. A virtual slaughter of vigilantism ensues, with the brothers and their new recruit, David Della Rocco, taking out all that is evil in South Boston. When the killings begin to hit closer and closer to home for infamous mafia don "Papa Joe" Yakavetta, he secures the release of an old family hit man, the mysterious "Il Duche."

Willem Dafoe gives a smashing performance as Paul Smecker , the anomalous FBI agent assigned to investigate the mob-related killings. His uncanny detective skills soon have him hot on the trail of the two brothers, and once Smecker realizes the particular brand of vigilantism the brothers are executing, he must make a choice to either take them down or enable their continuance.

With choppy dramatic sequencing including flashbacks and layered scene cutting, a few critics have compared the style of The Boondock Saints to that of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Some even write it off as a cheap imitation. However, the memorable characters, unique humor and religious twist of The Boondock Saints ensures that it holds its own place in the line of "shoot-`em-up" mobster movies. Don't miss out on the Saints phenomenon.

Lollerblades.......2007-07-19

Wow, I can't believe how many 1 stars this movie has produced. Ever since the movie came out, I haven't met ONE person that thought so negatively of the film, and I know a LOT of people from a LOT of places. I guess there just has to be haters of everything on this planet.

It's just a movie anyways, and there are TONS of movies out there WAY worse than this one could ever dream up to be.

Are you kidding? This is like a gift from the Hollywood Gods!.......2007-06-19

I cannot believe that a movie with so much intelligence and gnashing bite made it through the editing room to my home theater. Two Irish-Catholic brothers that fall into vigilantism so effortlessly and do it so well, that is a recipe for a plot that fuels this amazing film. Do yourself a favor and watch this over and over.
~Charlie Will

Horribly overrated.......2007-06-07

As another reviewer put it, this is one of those movies that is unintentionally funny. The acting is awful and the plot nonsensical. I originally got it because of all its rave reviews here, of which I no longer trust. This one has all the acting and plot of a late-night straight-to-TV flick. I had a hard time making it all the way through. This one is a real stinker, if you want Boston-style mob violence save yourself the trouble and watch the horribly depressing (but much, much better) The Departed instead.

Belongs Under Comedy/Fantasy not Action/Drama.......2007-05-08

This self-indulgent caricature of a movie was just plain awful. I admit, the story intrigued me; two shanty Irish vigilantes from Southie killing bad guys in the name of God? OK, I'll give it a shot, plus I heard all these rave reviews about it. Boy was I in for an unpleasant surprise. The acting was horrible and most of the characters were so ridiculous that I couldn't even take them seriously. This is one of those films that is unintentionally funny. All kidding aside, this is literally how I think a 13 year old would visualize a good action/drama film. So unless you have the mentality of a pre-teen or can enjoy this movie for what it is, a comedy/fantasy, I would suggest you don't waste your time. For a decent movie about South Boston, go watch The Departed or even Southie instead.
