It seems like the only contrivance anyone hears about this movie, its either from fanatic word of mouth or from seeing it sitting in Blockbusters. Thats a shame, because this first outing by director Troy Duffy is an extremely wintry film that deserves all the attention it can earn.
Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus play two top-notch ole Irish Catholic boys in Boston, who one day glean sick of the corruption in the city and commence a bloody crusade to wipe it out. Willem DaFoe plays the FBI agent hot on their scurry, who is torn between bringing the mysterious vigilantes to justice, or joining their crusade.
The film is, simply set, frigid. Its one of the only movies that actually invent going to church sight cold. Don’t be fooled by the description, however; this is not an action movie. Do not request blazing gun battles with crazy angles and MTV like editing. This is a film about morality, doing what one thinks is good, and having codes of honour. It’s about all those things, and how conclude they may sometimes secure to walking the edge between first-rate and tainted.

The two actors who play the Irish vigilantes are ample in their roles, playing the boys not as superheroes, but as regular joes with a sizable chip on their shoulder. A nice twist in the film is DaFoe’s portrayel of the FBI agent, who also happens to be pleased. He plays him as a substantial character without being tempted to dip into stereotypes. Large job by the versatile actor.
This is definately a movie not to be missed. If you are fortunate to view this in your video store, select it out and delight in.
It only takes a few minutes to diagram a comparison between Troy Duffy’s “The Boondock Saints” and almost any Quentin Tarentino film. As I watched this breathtaking movie, I snickered to myself over realizing this petite fact. I figured few others would gain the connection. Boy, was I faulty! It seems that anyone who has seen “Boondock Saints” immediately thinks of “Pulp Fiction” or “Reservoir Dogs.” Moreover, a lot of people do not like the conception of Duffy ripping off such a profitable American icon. Perhaps they have forgotten that Tarentino has based his entire career on borrowing or outright ripping off ideas from 1960s and 1970s cinema. I could care less whether Duffy imitated “Pulp Fiction” or whether he arrived at this notion on his occupy. Hollywood routinely begs, borrows, and steals in an grief to acquire a buck. The fresh trend of remaking older films is only one aspect of this philosophy, so complaining about some filmmaker copying a specific style is a moot point. “The Boondock Saints” is an enormously though-provoking device to exhaust a couple of hours and, despite a few flaws, may effect a cult position rivaling anything made by Quentin Tarentino. This is how it should be.
Connor and Murphy MacManus (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus respectively) are two Irish brothers who exhaust their days drinking at the local pub and working in a local meatpacking plant. They don’t do powerful with their free time outside of lounging around their filthy loft and hanging around with unbalanced people like their friend David Rocco, a minor criminal who longs to join the local branch of the mafia. Misfortune rears its repulsive head when some Russian gangsters travel into the neighborhood and threaten to terminate down the neighborhood bar. After a fistfight leads to a couple of killings in an alley, the boys realize they may be in a place of pains with local law enforcement. Actually, they are in more grief than they realize at first when an FBI agent by the name of Paul Smecker arrives on the scene. The inept local cops stand around throwing out all sorts of irregular, implausible theories about these corpses in the alleyway, but Smecker moves in and figures it all out in an enormously hilarious and ingenious method. By slapping on some headphones pumping out classical music and prancing around the scene checking things out, Smecker tells the cops what happened, when it happened, and who probably did it. Positive enough, the MacManus boys sheepishly approach at the local cop shop, bloodied and bandaged from their tussle with the Russkies, and confess to the crime.

Fortunately for Connor and Murphy, Agent Smecker takes a staunch shine to these gregarious youngsters and releases them from jail. After all, the whole incident was merely a case of self-defense gone horribly bloody. But something queer happens to the MacManus brothers after this incident; they suddenly believe they receive a calling from God to rid the streets of criminals. Checking in at the local armory of the Irish Republican Army (this is Boston, after all) and arming themselves to the teeth, Connor and Murphy exercise information gleaned from their encounter with the low-level mafia goons to stage a mission against the bosses of the Russian Mob. Other jobs soon follow, all apparently sanctioned and sanctified by the Almighty. The boys are so successful they soon arrangement in the assistance of David Rocco, who, with his mountainous knowledge of Boston’s underworld, provides a list of criminals who deserve to die. As the body count rises, Smecker comes closer to learning the identities of these homegrown vigilantes. The fact that the FBI agent undergoes a crisis of conscience over the crimes-he expeditiously realizes these murders are the work of citizens fed up with crime-leads him to secretly assist the men responsible for the killings. Throw in a bunch of Mafia thugs, adult film star Ron Jeremy as a doomed hoodlum, a vicious, mystical killer named “Il Duce” (played by Billy Connolly, calm atoning for “Head of the Class”), stylish gunplay, and an exploding cat and you have all the makings of this qualified movie.
“The Boondock Saints” is a film about vigilantism and whether that activity is ever justifiable, although that theme seems to move for most of the movie. The conclusion, too, ends up being impartial a slight too implausible, but getting there is a boatload of fun. The best things about Duffy’s film are the whipsaw snappily dialogue, the hilarious running gags, and Willem Dafoe as Agent Paul Smecker. Dafoe especially deserves accolades for his portrayal of a conflicted FBI agent whose sympathies eventually turn to the MacManus brothers. His diagram of solving crimes, especially the shootout between Il Duce and the two vigilantes, is not only brilliantly executed but a wonder to see. Moreover, Smecker’s interactions with the local Irish cops provide endless opportunities for astronomical dialogue and hilarious jokes.
Regrettably, a bit of overacting at positive points of the film speedy annoys, as does the failure to provide anything more than lip service to vigilantism and how it pertains to our ultra violent world, but “The Boondock Saints” is so great fun despite these flaws that you will hardly recognize them. The DVD includes many extras, such as indispensable deleted scenes, a commentary by Troy Duffy, and a widescreen presentation. There’s even talk of an impending sequel, although the absence of the Willem Dafoe character, if the reports are right, could cause necessary problems. There is not any other design to say it: if you have not seen “The Boondock Saints,” race, do not hobble, to the local video store and remove or rent a copy today.
