Boondock Saints

[Balrog of Moria]

Has anyone seen this...and if so what are your thoughts.

[Doomsday]

I saw it, it was alright, but I think it's highly overrated, but still worth watching.

[QUINNtheESKIMO]

it was a pretty good action movie, but its no masterpiece. for what it is, and what I assume was a relatively low-budgett, yeah its pretty good. But its just an action movie

[Balrog of Moria]

For some reason over the years its still remained one of my all time favorites... Highly recomend to anyone.

[Kris Hodgson]

Considering its direct to video and got almost no press, it's pretty damn good.

[Halofan1]

Badass movie. I loved it. The movie I compare it to, "Equilibrium", is better in my eyes. There is a nice shootout at the end though. It's only $8 on DVD and it is a great package.

[Cipher Jo]

I'll stick with Equilibrium

[Macbane]

never seen it, but i have heard of it. whats it basically about?

[Balrog of Moria]

It reminds me of a Tarentino movie the way they go to the crime scene 1st and then show it happening.

[diasyjazz]

Keep hearing the name....never seen it...no idea what its about....so like Macbane...whats it about?

[Balrog of Moria]

From the back of the DVD.

When the sadistic Russian mob starts muscling in on South Boston Irish neiborhood, Connor and Murphey McManus know what must be done. Felling 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 become local heroes. Now one unorthodox (Gay) F.B.I agent must be cunning enough to bring them down

Starring:
Willam Dafoe
Sean Patrick Flannery
Norman Reedus
David Della Rocco (THE FUNNYMAN)
and Ron Jermy

In a nutshell its about 2 irish catholic guys who go on a mission from god to kill all the evil people in the world.

[diasyjazz]

Thanks...I like Willem Dafoe- I will definately have to check it out and be able to join in the converstation.

Has a mighty fine amount of cussing in it.

I never noticed it until a friend mentioned to me to turn it down cause his girlfriend was in another room and she might get mad.

I was like "Why?"

Lol. It turns out they cuss and say F every other word and sentance in the movie. :rolleyes:

It's a great action flick, its got it's funny parts. The flashback telling of the detective is very clever.

I saw this before it even had a lot of hype, back when it first came out on video. I was suprised on how good it was.

Then one day it came out on DVD, and people started coming up to me and were like "Dude have you seen this movie!? Im pretty sure you havn't yet, it kicks a**!!".

And I just said "um... yeah. Like ages ago." :D

[Balrog of Moria]

A fine piece of art that went under the radar.

[Dogbert0228]

Hey.

Anyone who loves action movies, and action movies with a purpose and interesting plot, you have to check out The Boondock Saints. When my friend told me he had this cool movie where these Catholic dudes go around killing and cursing in the name of God, I didn't know what to think. But The Boondock Saints had some awesome gun fights, Willem Defoe is still a great actor, despite his charater's "flaw" but that just makes him a better actor anyway. What struck me about the movie more than anything was how often they cursed, but how appropriate and entertaining it was. I blame this partly on how Hollywood has completely knumbed my sense of right and wrong, but as a guy who only watches movies expecting the best from them, The Boondock Saints is one of the best cult films. Too much off the wall stuff to be a good main-stream film, but even the message in the movie had me really thinking, while at the same time being entertained by the acting and action. Great all around film, definitely go out and see it, just don't watch it with stupid people with no grasp of plot, because those people will be sadly confused.

That is all for now.

That's for sure. But other than that, it was pretty good. Has a nice little twist in it too!;)

[Balrog of Moria]

Funnyman is awesome

[necronon99]

Willam Dafoe makes the film worth it....
owning no
worth watching, yes

[Balrog of Moria]

Its a definete buy for 9.99 at Circuit City. But hey, to each his own.

[Optimus Magnus]

Dude, this movie rocks (that's part of thier prayer in my sig) and they swear cos thier Irish, I've met some Irishmen and believe me, they curse like sailors (except when God is involved)

[Mat]

Pretty good flick... not as good as Reservoir Dogs, though, but it's pretty good in it's own right.

[rosncranz]

i think it is better than resevoir dogs, but that is just my oppinion, although you do get the same kinda vibe. thought it was great, the toilet scene and the part where willem defoe is like "what a fag!" were my two favorite parts! also dont get in an uproar i am very much for gay rights.

[cg124]

Great flick i just saw it today and I loved it, probally because I had no idea what to expect. I give it a 9.5/10. I still like reservoir dogs better(it's my favorite movie) but I still put this in my top 20. I don't know why the critics bashed this movie. And the action scenes were pretty good for what they were.

[Starwars411]

I love the movie I saw it last year when my brother bought the DVD, I was blown away. It's one of my favorite movies. I actually memorized the prayer cause it is cool.

[cerealkiller182]

This is one of the best movies ever. I'm so surprised no one backed this enough to get it into theatres.

[Drizzt240]

One of my favorite movies.

[Doomsday]

This is one of the best movies ever. I'm so surprised no one backed this enough to get it into theatres.

Probably because it wasn't all that good to begin with.

[Drizzt240]

Even if your not too fond of the film, surely you can agree that it is better than some other movies that come to theater.

[Jack Sparrow]

great movie.. it was hilarious when he punched the butch chick in the face in the meat factory.

[Starwars411]

The only reason it never came to theaters is cause of the Columbine shootings.

Your probally right

OK I'll give you that one.

[Kmachead]

I loved this movie! Never heard of it, till a friend brought it over. HYSTERICAL when he shot the cat! (SCREW PETA, this was funny)

[cg124]

I was watching far and away in history class today and when we were packing up to leave class I was talking to the kid about tom cruises irish accent and I said that boondock saints has some of the coolest irish accent and I didn't think he actually saw it but he did. We got in a conversation about it. I'm glad someone else in my school saw it

[Starwars411]

I think only about ten people have seen it at my school.

[cg124]

well i was telling the one girl about it at the bus stop and she thought it was kind of cool. I told her about the part where the guy shoots the cat by accident.

well If there ever is a sequel i hope it has a good budget and that it goes straight to video.

Plot summary from IMDB

The story starts with a bit more in depth on the court house scene which ended the last film. As soon as they blow Yakavetta away, it is revealed that the MacManus father and sons have been hiding out deep in the glens and valleys of Ireland for three years. Connor and Murphy are quite content with this "natural" life and their pasts begin to seem faded and worn. But soon they recieve a "sign" and are called back into action as a pastor is murdered in a Boston church and the crime scene is staged to make it look like the work of the Saints.

It definitely has potential but it may never happen. Also Willem Dafoe isnt in it :(

Well I won't give up hope and also I think they can still do good with out dafoe. At least the original saints are coming back. i love sean patrick flannely(sp) he is such an underated actor

[Drizzt240]

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

[Starwars411]

That plot summary is kinda old. I think Dafoe cleared some of his schedule to be in the movie.

I waish he had but he didnt. Im still really pissed about this. I try to as up to date as I can but I havent heard anything about Dafoe rejoining the cast. Please tell me if I'm wrong because I would love Dafoe to come back. And the plot summary is old but I assume it hasnt changed much
