A cult phenomenon returns with The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. The vigilante MacManus brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus, reprising their roles from the first movie) have retired to Ireland, but a copycat killing of a Boston priest brings them back to dish out their unique brand of quasi-spiritual justice. The story line doesn't differ much from the first movie; the brothers have a new sidekick (Clifton Collins Jr., Capote) and a new pursuer, FBI agent Eunice Bloom (Julie Benz of Dexter, striving to take the place of Willem Dafoe from the original), but it's basically a series of shootouts in which the brothers pop up "unexpectedly" and blast a bunch of cartoonish criminals to pieces. The Boondock Saints was not a good movie, but it had a weird, unique energy--you couldn't tell if the movie took itself so seriously that it was ludicrous or if it was mocking itself while reveling in its absurd extravagances. All Saints Day has the same ridiculous swagger and baroque macho dialogue, but this time the spark is missing (with the exception of Collins, who brings all his dependable live-wire energy). Some cult fans will be disappointed, but others will still find things to enjoy. Also featuring Scottish comedian Billy Connolly (reprising his role as the elder MacManus), Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), and Peter Fonda (Easy Rider). --Bret Fetzer

Avoid like the plague,
By skfireboy "skfireboy" (Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (DVD)
Easily one of the worst movies of all time. If you liked the first movie, which was awesome, do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs or it will tarnish your memories of the first one. This movie was made for the lowest common denominator of human intelligence. Seriously and I don't mean to sound like a know it all smarty pants, because I'm not, but this movie is probably akin to being "The Godfather" for anyone living in a trailer park. I hate this movie and don't want a single other person, intelligent or not to waste their time on this complete mess.

This video was for a family member and he seems perfectly happy with the DVD and therefore so am I. It arrived in a timely manner; so thank you very much.

This review is from: The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is now my most hated movie, EVER!!! I am an avid movie watcher and this is the second movie I have ever turned off before I finished it. I have never been so insulted when considering the calibre of the first movie. I wish I could get my money back. It does not deserve 1 star. In fact, if I could give it a negative rating I would.
