Amazon.com 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

Satisfying in an un-PC kind of way September 3, 2010 L.T. (Sydney, NSW Australia) If you watch movies to escape, this is a great movie! could easily stand against anything Quintin Tarantino dish out...One can easily see why this is a a cult hit!
Great movie August 31, 2010 Carolyn R. Fortney love the Boomdock saints, couldn wait until I recevied it.
I saw it on Amazon.com and saw the deals for that movie.
I received the movie on time and enjoyed watching it.
thank you for your promptness
a happy customer
Gotta be honest here... August 4, 2010 William M. Cortner V If this movie were a food, it would be either cotton candy or a snow cone. Both are enjoyable while they last, but neither have any value, substance, or really do anything. This movie is the same way.
To its credit, it achieves the baseline for any movie, which is that it makes the audience forget about their lives for a bit and become engrossed in an alternate realm. Unfortunately, it does little beyond this.
Few elements of the plot are necessary. Dafoe in drag, for instance. Not needed, and even immediately after seeing the scene I was wondering why and how it happened. This is not a good sign.
After thinking about the movie, I realized that all it had going for it was stylized violence. It had little semblance of plot, zero character development (unless an increasing kill count is a development), and worthless dialog. All in all, pret'ny worthless.
If you really liked the slick-ness of this movie, but want to watch something that is, frankly, better, watch a Guy Ritchie film (except RocknRolla). I recommend Snatch or Sherlock Holmes.
Good, funny, and not for kids. July 24, 2010 Luis A. Avila Boondock Saints about two people who loves to enjoy life to the fullest. Then, though a dream they have found there calling in life! Taking care of the bad guys. Basicly, this moive have lots of hummer (some of them dark), shooting them up take notes later. Story really good, don't really want to give out too many hints! But man this moive really cought my eye when I first saw this movie!
