The Boondock Saints (1999)

Best movie ever!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Many questions come into play when viewing a film, especially when it deals with religion in a way. Irish, true Catholics and devout to their beliefs. The film is about two Irish Catholic brothers from Boston (played by Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery) who mistakenly and accidentally kill two Russian mob men after a bar fight. Being honorable men, they turn themselves in only to be deemed heroes by the police force. Willem Dafoe is the prideful FBI agent tasked to bring them in but believes these men a re necessary evils on the fight against crime. A wild ride filled with violence, action, extreme cursing, humor and driven by the character development of the two brothers. Added bonus is having Billy Connelly in the film with a few surprise twists. The film is fast-paced, well written and performances are excellent. You will not be disappointed by the film at all, a solid 8/10

So this director is the ultimate one trick pony/one hit wonder. But it's a damn fine motion picture. The plot pulls you in, the characters are strange but extremely like-able and the violence is not only graphic but very creative. This movie is all kinds of awesome but the sequel sucks and the director hasn't made anything else worth watching. Thankfully the cast didn't suffer the same fate. The writer/director clearly threw together every good idea and element of a great movie that he had into this flick which makes it stand out but it seems that he only had enough good content for one movie

I don't get how I came across this movie so late?! Its just brilliant! The way it plays out, the story, the editing! And the soundtrack. Oh, the music that accompanies DeFoe's scenes! The acting done by the two leads is brilliant, Norman of course made it big in TWD much later with Flannery getting some recognition in Dexter. But damn. William DeFoe . He stole the bloody movie. Whether it was his narration of the scenes, his constant ragging of the one inspector, which was just LOL, or his climax scenes. Yes you know the one. Brilliant movie. The style, the cutting, the pacing of this movie. They really made them different back in the day. By different I mean better. Perfect movie for a night with take out.

Well,i finally got around to seeing this movie.my roommate raved bout it for years.did I like it?the only word that comes to mind is meh.i didn't like or hate it.it's a crime drama/action film.lots of blood and guts.one thing I should mention-the f bomb(or any of it variations) is dropped almost every other word,sometimes even more frequently.coarse language doesn't bother me generally,but I think they way over did it on that score.as far as crime drama/action movies ate concerned.this one is somewhere in the middle of the pack.it definitely wasn't worth the hype.it/s rated pretty high on this site(7.9).I wouldn't rate it that high myself.i noticed there is a sequel ,which I am on the fence about seeing after being disappointed in this one.for me,The Boondock Saints is a 5/10
