The Boondock Saints (1999) 

Movie InformationTwo Catholic men from Boston kill two Russian mob members, in self-defence. After the incident the two men, brothers Conner and Murphy MacManus, feel as though they are doing God's will and start massacring many members of the Russian mob, who they see as evil. After killing a bunch of them, they are dubbed "The Saints" by the Boston Herald.

Through out the movie, they are being chased by FBI agent Paul Smecker and run in to many obstacles involving the agent and their long time friend Rocco, an Italian Mafia package boy.


My Review
The Boondock Saints was a brilliant movie, though it wasn't one of the best movies I've ever seen, it left me wanting to see what happens next (and BTW, The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day, is a great continuation). Though the story over all is quite violent, it's also quite funny. I'm not going to lie, it's not the best but it's still a very enjoyable movie and I honestly loved it! Many others haven't, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the movie is filled with action, comedy, and just plain idiocy. I loved it and I would love to see a third in the series because the second movie was also amazing.
If there's anything you'd like to say about it, please comment! Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
