How can you not love this movie?,
By Patrick Michelson "veritasetiustitia" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boondock Saints (Widescreen) (DVD)
If you are looking for genius film making, then this is not your movie. If you are looking for an epic tale with beautiful landscapes, then this is not your film. If you are looking for a movie with more plot twists and turns that a windy mountain road, then this is not your film. The thing is... it never promised to be those things. This is a movie that appeals to the "we could kill everbody" aspect inside of every male. (It is my experience that women loathe this movie.) It will also appeal to your ideals of justice and make you ask "what if?" The movie is also incredibly quote-worthy. Being a sucker for good dialogue, that makes or breaks a movie for me.

Pulp Fiction meets Reservoir Dogs + Religious examination,
By
This review is from: Boondock Saints (Widescreen) (DVD)
Wow! This is a very interesting film, and it shamefully had the same curse Memento had: Great film no one heard of until it went to DVD.The movie takes a very interesting and deliberate view of following ones personal interpretation of religious belief, to the nth degree, as well as taking a very well aimed pot shot at the flaws in our legal system. It doesn't provide pat answers, which I felt worked well (We are a civilized society, but how do you best deal with the uncivilized). In terms of movie enjoyment...gotta say it's also a fun movie while it gives you meaty subject matter to chew on. I've never seen a movie where a toilet was used as a murder weapon; Ron Jeremy in a non-porn, porn role ( bit of great casting, BTW); and the worlds WORST attempt at cleaning up a crime scene (if you are particularly observant, notice what they used to cover up part of the mess. Absolutely priceless!) are just a few of the inventive ingredients thrown into this story. The result is a terrific film you will not be sorry you watched.

Not even my kind of movie...,
By
This review is from: Boondock Saints (Widescreen) (DVD)
Upon receiving a recommendation for this movie, i was quite skeptical. I've never been a fan of movies with any remote relegious presence, and i've always HATED movies inwhich vigilante justice is a part of the plot. But for some reason, i LOVED Boondock Saints.The acting is great on all parts, but Willem Dafoe is clearly the star of this movie. If you thought you were a fan before, you will fall head-over-heels in love with Dafoe in this role. His portrail of a gay, and very intellegent cop is both believeable and entertaining at the same time. In terms of style, Boondock Saints is surprisingly well filmed, and concieved. For instance, they never show the crimes as the saints commit them, they're showed as Dafoe unravels them from the crime scene. Towards the end, in a moment of conceptual genuis, Dafoe apperes next to the saints, them actually shooting, Dafoe reinacting the scene for co workers. Boondock Saints is sure to surprise audiences at how widly well recieved it is sure to be. After a few more viewings, i could see this becoming one of my favorite movies.
