The Boondock Saints
 

Last night, I've seen this movie. Took me about five minutes to get used to the irish dialect, but after that it was a great movie.

So, there are these two irish brothers in Boston who kill two russian mobsters in self defense and they get away with it. And because they're both a bit nuts, they take this as a sign from God to go and kill criminals. And so they do. But, what they don't realize is that the mob is more powerful than they thought and so they're soon confronted with "Il Duce" (= the Duke) who is "a raging animal who won't stop until he sees blood.

And of course, the police is also on the case, since they can't just let everybody drop dead for some reason. So they send this gay Policeman (brilliantly played by Willem Defoe) who hates gay people after the two brothers. The only problem he has, is that he starts to believe that the McManus-brothers are doing the right thing.

Now, the story is told quite quickly, but it's not the story that made this movie so great. It was more the dialogue between the brothers and the feeling of the film. Although I have one question, which is a sort of spoiler:



If you're into more realistic action movies, then I definitely recommend it to you. Although, the irish accent might be a bit confusing at first if you're not used to it.

Of course, your comments are appreciated.

A good flick.
An overrated flick.
An answer to your spoiler question: Yes.

I do doubt they'll ever finish BDS2:ASD

I really liked the movie a lot. However, if you go to the official website, you can tell that they're milking it for all it's worth, which is really dumb.

And yeah, All Saint's Day isn't coming out for a long, long time.

Good movie, until I saw Willem Defoe in drag.

Yeah, that mob-guy seriously has a bad taste when it comes to women. Besides, I thought that the drag-stunt was pretty unnecessary. I mean, Willem could've just shown up, shot the door-mobster and then killed everyone in the house. Well, at least it made me smile for a bit... you don't see the Green Goblin in a skirt everyday.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I gotta see that.

I thought this movie was fantastic. Of course, I may be a little biased.

Aye! It is a very good movie, I agree and I'm not even irish. But for me, it takes more than swiss people to make a good movie (infact, I hate every swiss person on TV or on the big screen).

You don't really talk like that, do you? :D

I think the best scene is when they go into the peep show. You know, the one with Ron Jeremy.

"WYATT ****ING EARP!"

Well according to Matt, I sound quite different. Tu ra lu ra lu ra...

I do hope the second one comes out soon. I've been waiting a long time.

I saw the Boondock Saints for the first time this past year... and it is truly an awesome movie.

However, i'm not sure if it needs a sequel. I liked the openended ending taht the first movie had....

What possibly plot could the second movie follow? I'm sorry, but the title "All Saints' Day" sounds hackeyened and cheesy.

The only redeemable plot in my mind would have the saints die at the end, and it woudl be titled "The Boondock Martyrs"

I first saw this movie because it was filmed in South Boston, which is an aweosme place. The first time I saw it, I hated it. After repeated viewings it grew on me and it quickly became one of my favorite movies.

This movie ranks up there as one of my favorite movies of all time. I truly enjoy this movie.

I saw this movie on TV not too long ago and to my surprise I really liked it. Willem Dafoe's character was great.

Not sure if a sequel is neccesary, but I guess it could be cool.

Ah yes, the boondock saints.

Very good movie: 'irish porn' like some of my friend's call it. They're making a sequal?

They've been making a sequel for a few years now. I doubt it'll ever happen.

I don't really think that there's a need for a sequel. I mean, I like the thought that they're now out there, killing criminals and doing their thing. I don't really need to see it. Besides, what more is there to show? I mean, them killing people? Big deal, the first part had their origin at least and them getting into their new "profession".

I actually got this movie for christmas, and I watched it today.

It was still excellent... I liked the way they show us what happened before and after a shooting before actually showing us what happened.

The dialogue was great... tons of subtle wit...

Well, the end leads to a sequel. Or at least I think it does.

Nah, not necessarily. Sure, you see them telling the people that they're going on with their business, but that doesn't mean that people have to see it. I myself am rather comfortable with the fact that I know that they're going on with it. I don't need to see it.

So Troy Duffy has finally announced the new Boondock Saints. It's not part 3, it's a TV show reboot/remake of the first movie... and people need to spend $600 on some weird book thing to get it crowd-funded.

And here's Duffy talking more about it:

There is the off chance that this is just Duffy trolling the fans, with the intention of revealing at some point, "Just kidding! We really are doing Boondock Saints 3 with Reedus and Flannery!" Which would be kind of brilliant.

Part 3 back on:

I hope they get it done! Love the Boondock Saints!
