Product Description
Amazon.ca
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
From the Back Cover
Thou shalt not kill. It's the one commandment they cannot keep. Tough, stylish and extreme, fans of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction will thrill to the action, intensity and intelligence of this modern day morality tale written in blood. Starring Willem Dafoe (The English Patient), Sean Patrick Flanery (Powder), and Norman Reedus 8MM.
When the sadistic Russian mob starts muscling in on their South Boston Irish neighborhood, Connor and Murphy McManus know what must be done. Feeling that the vengeance of God is flowing through their veins, they set out to rid the streets of gangsters, criminals and lowlifes. As the body count rises, the brothers became local heroes. Now, one unorthodox FBI agent must be cunning enough to bring them down.

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.

You'd have to be retarded...
...to consider this film anything but bottom-of-barrel ooze (Coming as it does courtesy of a certifiable, wet-brained, burn-out bartender - Troy Duffy). Read more

I normally don't say this, but FOLLOW THE CROWD
Boondock Saints is one of the most important independent films to grace our time. It broaches the social idea of taking matters into your own hands, forgetting the system and... Read more
