Ok by the nick I use you guessed probably could guess I was a huge fan of this movie. So when I saw amazon was actually selling it (WELL DONE!!!!) i decided to review it. Well I guess I should explain why I loved it:Criminally under-exposed I came across this movie by chance, Willem Defoe being a great actor persuaded me to see this movie, and oh my word.Ultra violent yet strangely moral, ultra hip, insanely funny, this movie has EVERYTHING, including a hillarious scene where one character seems to find a 1000 uses for the F-Word and a scene involving a cat - i wont give no more away because its unexpected.The McManus brothers are two Boston Irish brothers, working in a meat factory and spending their nights in a local bar. Until the russian mob comes along and a fight breaks out, with the mob looking to take revenge on the two brothers that humiliate them, they escape with the aid of a toilet (no im not joking) and kill the two mobsters.... this sets the scene for Willem Defoe to join the movie as an FBI agent. With the two brothers believing they are some kind of blues brothers with semi-automatics they set out under "orders of god" to rid society of its bad elements. With Defoe closing in on the two and a mob-runner friend helping them out.Defoe is as ever excellent, Flannery and Reedus great as the brothers and the hillarious guy who plays Rocco looks like Mick Foley with a foul mouth. Even Billy Connolly the great scottish comedian, and The porn Legend Ron Jeremy have bit part roles.The soundtrack is done by Director Troy Duffy's band The Boondock Saints, and fits the story well, the action and bloodshed while excessive are stylish and some of the movie is beautifully shot, and filled if you care to notice with catholic reference and symbolism that adds explanation and believability to the plot (the tattoos on the broters hands "Veritas" and "Aequitas" means truth and justice, something very symbolic to their "mission"), to top it all of the dialogue is fantastic and very very funny, and the visual comedy element is just right.Tarrantino must have been gutted he didnt make this himself, but the fact that until recently hardly anyone noticed this movie, and that it never really got a proper distrobution due to contractal and production problems with Miramax is terrible.This movie should be experieced by EVERYONE, many may find it cliched or predictable or just too excessive for their tastes, but its truly a fantastic gem of a movie and I cant rate it highly enough.While I must concede it probably isnt the best movie ever made, I cant claim it to be the most original or well choreographed or whatever, what matters is that its probably my favourite, and what eventually will be remembered is how well a film is regarded not how well it was made, the success of films that were critical flops proves it, and this movie is head and shoulders above any of those.Regardless of how big or small a hit it eventually is, it will never leave my collection in any of the 3 forms I currently own it in.

Boondock Saints on Blu-Ray is a must have for any man with a physical media movie collection. It's very well made and is entertaining.

fick den innan utsatt datum och den funkade jättebra älskar filmer

È il film che non ti aspetti. A prima vista potrebbe sembrare il solito action-movie sparatutto, ma è molto di più. Un Willem Defoe straordinario interpreta un investigatore sui generis dal carattere forte, ironico e geniale. Il montaggio e la regia sono accurati in ogni particolare, costituendo un costrutto narrativo originale, ricco di flashback mirati a rendere la narrazione più esaltante e coinvolgente. I due protagonisti riescono a risultare accattivanti e seguendo le loro vicende non si può fare a meno di simpatizzare per loro e sentirsi coinvolti nella loro storia. Una piccola perla che inspiegabilmente rimane sconosciuta ai più, ma che vi consiglio vivamente di acquistare
