The Boondock Saints (DVD) Reviews

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room The Boondock Saints is a very divisive action thriller - it didn't fare too well with critics at all, but it was quite a hit on DVD, enough that it has a sequel due for release soon - Boondock Saints: All Saint's Day. The film revolves around Conner and Murphy ...  Read the complete review

I've had this on my rental list with LoveFilm for a month and it was finally free a couple of days ago, due to being so popular. The movie is about Irish-American brothers Connor and Murphy who after get into a bar fight with three Russian mobsters decided to become vigilantes, taking down criminals who really should be locked up... or ...  Read the complete review

I though this movie was good. It's a crime thriller starring William Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus and Davie Della Rocco. Two Irish-American brothers (Flanery and Reedus) turn into vigilantes after murdering Russian mafia members in self defence whilst trying to save a local pub. They claim that god believes they should ...  Read the complete review

This movie is beyond awesome. I absolutely loved it. It is probably one of my favorite movies out there. It is full of action and sends a very powerful message to the world. The actors in this film are also incredibly attractive which makes the movie all that more entertaining. This movie follows two Irish Catholic brothers living in ...  Read the complete review

Wow I was completely blown away by this movie! I watched it at the suggestion of my little sister, and I was very surprised! This movie really gets you thinking. You start to ponder about what being bad or good really means. Everyone has at one time picked up a paper and read the sad homicide/ murder stories. What if someone was to take the law ...  Read the complete review

I have to first start of by saying that this is my absolute favourite movie of all time. I find that it simply outshines every other film of its kind, not only with the amazing use of cinematography during the fight scenes (which by the way are fantastic) but the storyline will keep you gripped right to the very end. I've always been interested in ...  Read the complete review

What's that? Violence? Bad language? Something other than 'Bad Boys'? Well you've found it. This movie basically takes everything in the Matrix, combines it with a good gangster movie, and splashes in the violence of Black Hawk Down. Yes, that just about crystallizes my thoughts on that. Keep in mind, this movie is not ...  Read the complete review

Call me contrary, or whatever you like, but I tend to go against the grain at times, and my taste in films also follows this trend. I usually dislike most of the big blockbuster films, probably because they are so hyped, that by the time I see them, they just don't live up to what I was expecting.. I also think a lot has to do with how good ...  Read the complete review
