Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy MacManus (Norman Reedus) have been living in Ireland for several years, working on a farm with their father (Billy Connolly). When they learn they've been charged with the murder of a Roman Catholic priest, the brothers travel to Boston to clear their names. Along the way, they meet Romeo (Clifton Collins Jr.), a street fighter who joins them in their quest to find Concezio Yakavetta (Judd Nelson), a mobster who they think is really behind the murder.

Critics Consensus

This sequel to the cult favorite The Boondock Saints is more of the same -- unoriginal, absurd, violent, over-the-top, and occasionally mean-spirited.

Forget the mob, the MacManus brothers should be more worried about Duffy ruining their reputation.

Imagine Quentin Tarantino if he got his brow lowered.

Bold prediction: At his current glacial pace of progress, Troy Duffy is likely to write and direct the great Irish-American payback movie sometime in the year 2049.

It’s contrived and violent in the ugliest ways possible.

Story wise it has all the depth of a UFC match and is just about as well acted.

[Norman] Reedus pretty much captures the entire film with his signature line: "Let's do some gratuitous violence."

The comic relief character was unfunny and unlikable. He tries to be Rocco, but he’ll never be Rocco.

Boondock Saints II isn't really bad but it does feel like a massive step down compared to the first film. Sure, the actors still bring good performances, some of the unashamedly pottymouthed dialogue can be quite amusing and some decently-directed moments with Billy Connolly's character but...I don't know, something about this film felt off. Perhaps it's the fact that it's still doing the off-brand Tarantino bit long after those type of movies ran their course, maybe it's the uneven tone or perhaps even how, at its worst, it feels like a retread of the first film. It's not hard to see Romeo and Special Agent Bloom as replacements for Rocco and Willem Dafoe's character, respectively. The brothers' constant bickering when compared to the first film could also get rather obnoxious. I dunno, All Saints Day just didn't do it for me. I'm not holding my breath for Boondock Saints 3 despite reassurances that it's totally going into production for realsies, you guys.

The Boondock Saints II - just like it's predecessor is a binge-watching tradition for me and it started from film one. Though this movie is definitely not for everyone, those who have come to love it understand the majesty of its greatness from scene one. It's not just the story itself that carries through to exhibit the Boondock Saints II's greatness, but the acting and dialogue and how the characters interact with each other through different scenarios that make it a masterpiece. It's at the age now that it has become a steadfast cult classic and I feel that the casting choices were perfect for this epic, and unique film.

I'm looking at all those disappointed reviews and don't understand what everyone is perturbed about. It's the same movie! Shouldn't it also be a cult classic?
