Description:
Explore the harrowing world of The Boondock Saints as never before in this Unrated Special Edition! Digitally remastered for extraordinary picture quality and exploding in 5.1 EX Dolby Surround Sound, this definitive two-disc edition of the cult phenomeno
Amazon.com:
Charismatic young stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus play two Irish brothers, Connor and Murphy, who believe themselves ordained by God to rid the world of evil men. Their first killing is in self-defense; but after that, they start killing with devotion, gunning down a summit of the Russian mafia. Willem Dafoe plays a gay FBI agent (he listens to opera while examining crime scenes) who knows what the boys are doing but feels that their vigilante tactics are necessary. There's not much plot to The Boondock Saints--it's mostly a series of violent scenes in which the boys are partially ingenious and partially lucky. The movie seems to want to provoke debate about vigilantism, but the scenario is too implausible to stir any real controversy. The peculiar mix of earnestness and machismo will not appeal to everyone, but it's certainly unique and may acquire a cult following. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - great purchase
my first dvd got scratched and the best price i could find was here on amazon
Rating:  - Unwatchably bad - prepare for a lot of fast forwarding
There is an actor in this movie that looks like the actor Willem Dafoe and is apparently named Willem Dafoe, but can't possibly be the real Willem Dafoe, because any actor that was worth a damn would not have anything to do with this crappy movie unless they were being blackmailed or had to finance a bad gambling or drug addiction.
I'll leave it at that.
Rating: - A True Masterpiece!!!
The storyline, actors, and scripts are funny and brilliant! The Boondock Saints is extraordinary and thought-provoking! Entertaining from start to finish! Two thumbs up!
Rating:  - Admiration for when a man surrenders his own humanity
The Boondock Saints (1999), promises action, intrigue, an exposure
of the underworld and much more. Unfortunately, the mass appeal
of this movie simply is not there, as this work is a lot like FIGHT CLUB,
in that there is a demented story, totally disconnected from reality,
illogical, and very niche-minded in terms of the movie fan base who
will want to see this work again.
First, the entertainment aspect is questionable, for various reasons;
