Qinq D @RT14362661 2d Willem Dafoe is having an absolute blast, while Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus give the film its reckless, charismatic center. The dialogue pops with attitude, the performances are gloriously committed, and the whole thing has a scrappy, anarchic charm that’s hard to resist. It’s violent, funny, outrageous, and unapologetically stylized. A cult crime movie that wears its heart, and its Catholic iconography right on its sleeve. See more Piya S @piyasqm 6d The Boondock Saints is what happens when two Irish brothers decide they’ve had enough of Boston’s criminal element and take the highly reasonable approach of declaring a one-family war on evil. Reasonable? Not remotely. Enter Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as the MacManus brothers, two hard-drinking, hard-hitting vigilantes who stumble into their calling with the subtlety of a brick through a stained-glass window. And then there’s Willem Dafoe, who essentially detonates every scene he enters. His performance as FBI Agent Paul Smecker is part detective work, part theatrical event, and completely unforgettable. Watching him piece together the brothers’ increasingly elaborate crime scenes while everyone around him behaves like they’ve wandered into the world’s strangest police procedural is half the fun.

There is no moral relativism for the viewer to hold own to, just absurdly juvenile violent set pieces. Willem Dafoe, apparently given free rein, hams it up unmercifully adding to the schlock. Skip it. See more Bad E @RT00746028 Jul 25 the cat died it made me quite upset and its also just an ass movie. See more Andrew T @RT72355796 Jul 20 This movie was not bad, but it was also not totally unwatchable. Some things about it was good but some stuff was also not so good. The acting sucked but the action was good. The cinematography sucked but the screenplay writing was not bad and some of the jokes made me laugh and so on. This movie is not necessarily average, but I can’t give it anything other than a 5/10 because the dumb stuff cancelled out the good stuff. It could’ve been higher if it was more realistic but the whole detective stuff was just SO stupid and SO inaccurate. 5/10 See more Gideon D. @GiDeOnThAtSiGmA Jun 23 Maybe one of my favorite movies of time See more Read all reviews
