DVD Reviews of Boondock Saints (Unrated Special Edition)
DVD Review: John Woo as filtered through a 20-something manchild's sticky retard fingers
Summary: 1 Stars
Amateurishly written and directed, an overt message movie with an appalling message, and the single most derivative movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. The next time you see a male, aged 16-25, deriding the tween demographic that has unleashed Twilight upon us, just remind him of this cinematic afterbirth. Eventually he's probably going to grow up and forsake this trash.DVD Review: The Word "Terrible" Comes To Mind When Watching This Movie, But Then Again That's Just My Opinion, More or Less (More)
Summary: 1 Stars
Why all the talk about this movie? I watched this movie long after it became popular, barely got through it without trying to kill myself and desired to have all memory of it washed from my mind when it was over. The basic formula for this story: Stereotypical, hard-drinking Irish brothers + Russian mafia (what are they doing here?) + FBI trailing the work of vigilantes = Repetitive "plot" of this exceptionally boring movie.
All these guys do is drink, play with guns and kill "evil" men they think God has appointed them to do so. Most of the action scenes are shown in flashback, after a charismatic detective played by the Greatest Actor in the World, Willem Dafoe, brilliantly relates to a dumb subordinate and apparently half-baked bunch of second string FBI agents, or something. Dafoe's character, who owns the best lines in the "film," knows the leprechaun assassins are responsible for all of this violence but must see something in them others don't; this might provoke a short discussion about vigilantism, but one that's been had before, and only by the most desperate of viewers trying to squeeze something out of this movie. Anyone else might proclaim the action scenes as "bad-ass" and the storyline altogether as "groundbreaking" but original this movie surely ain't.
This is probably what happened:
"Hey, let's make a movie about Irish vigilantes!"
"Awesome! What happens?"
"What do you mean? They're IRISH. And they're VIGILANTES. What else do you need to know?"
"Um... okay, sounds good."
The premise for the movie was one page long, the dialogue heavily-accented and improvised. Hell, anyone can write a movie. Turns out they made a sequel to this movie.
"Hey, remember that movie about the Irish vigilantes?"
"Yeah, that was great! Scathing reviews, totally awesome cult following though (primarily made of high school kids)."
"Let's make another one!"
"Okay. What about?"
"Same thing."
And who says they're running out of ideas for movies?

This is the fourth time I bought this movie. Friends and family keep making off with my copies. Defoe alone is worth the cost. His kiss takes it over the top. Hilarious and unforgetable.DVD Review: Good movie.

Description of Boondock Saints (Unrated Special Edition)
Explore the harrowing world of The Boondock Saints as never before in this Unrated Special Edition! Digitally remastered for extraordinary picture quality and exploding in 5.1 EX Dolby Surround Sound, this definitive two-disc edition of the cult phenomenon features deleted scenes, outtakes, two audio commentaries, a printable script and more!Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the brutal murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they've been chosen to rid the world of evil. But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston's underworld, Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes...and joining them!
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
