November 17, 2009First - what is this film really about? Towards the end of the last century, only two cities in America had an "Irish mob", Boston and Brooklyn, and Brooklyn's was fading fast, caught up in smuggling in easily identifiable illegal aliens and smuggling guns back to an IRA that's n...( read more)

November 6, 2009A rags-to-riches story for the director (as covered in the documentary Overnight), but then suppressed due to the Columbine Massacre. Boondock Saints can easily be dismissed as yet another Tarantino clone. It has the dark humor, the wickedly clever dialogue and the fractured narr...( read more)

September 12, 2009A powerful thriller. Wickedly funny, twisted, bullet-riddeld fun. An action-packed thrill-ride that packs an electrifying mixture of bullets, humor, brains, style and originality into one leathal dosage of a movie. Heart-pounding and adreniline-pumping from start to finish. It's ...( read more)

November 22, 2009Great independent film with a fantastic cast and great chemistry. The story brings you into the life of two brothers thrust into the underworld of society. The brothers take up arms against the evils of the world and start taking down anyone and everyone involved with crime and...( read more)

November 22, 2009Dafoe gives a good performance, but everyone else does not (and I love Flannery and Reedus in other things), the movie has "cool" one-liners, but this isn't Die Hard so those fail, Duffy has some pretty bad song choices, and the action is not well paced or shot. The tone is all o...( read more)

January 9, 2008if you didnt like this movie than your freakin crazy this is possibly the best movie ever made. I thought that there was an excellent mix of action and comedy. especially the part where the cop was dressed as a woman and the dude couldnt tell. i mean i found that hilarious. sure it was kind of stupid that he didnt know it was a dude but its a freakin movie and it cant get any better then this.
