Audience Rating: Unrated Binding: DVD EAN: 0024543231387 Format: Collector's Edition, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Special Edition, Widescreen, NTSC Label: 20th Century Fox Languages: Manufacturer: 20th Century Fox Number Of Items: 2 Publisher: 20th Century Fox Region Code: 1 Release Date: May 23, 2006 Running Time: 108 minutes Studio: 20th Century Fox Theatrical Release Date: 2000 Editorial Review: 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 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 phenomenon features deleted scenes, outtakes, two audio commentaries, a printable script and more! Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the brutal murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they've been chosen to rid the world of evil. But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston's underworld, Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes?and joining them! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An Undiscovered GemI watched this for the first time just a couple weeks ago and now I own the unrated special edition. I couldn't believe a movie like this was not a major release. A very powerful movie with heavy subject matter. It's the kind of movie that really gets inside of you. I thought the actors were great except from some minor slipping of the Irish accent of the two main characters. I truly think that this us an undiscovered gem of movies, a must own. That said, I think you also have ...

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 humanityThe 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; the ... Read More |
