“The Boondock Saints is one of the most pleasant surprises Iu0026#39;ve had in my years of watching indies, and it proves conclusively that you donu0026#39;t need a massive budget to do a terrific action film!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTwo blue-collar Boston Irish brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus, who are both terrific!) rid their favorite pub of an influx of Russian gangsters, and soon decide they are on a Mission from God to execute all the u0026#39;heavy hitteru0026#39; criminals from the city. While this makes them local heroes, it also sets sympathetic detective Willem Dafoe on their trail.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is reminiscent of the u0026#39;Death Wishu0026#39; series, without the glossy superficiality of the Bronson films. At times funny, at times disturbing, it never loses momentum, with a twist ending is both satisfying and thoroughly insane! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the violence is graphic, the story is character-driven, and never allows the executions to overwhelm the plot. You actually like the brothers, and may be hard-pressed NOT to root for them, even if you do feel a bit guilty about it!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Boondock Saints is a fabulous film, one that deserves your attention!”
