But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston's underworld Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes and joining them!System Requirements:Running Time 108 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: UNRATED UPC: 024543404880 Manufacturer No: 2240488 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Unwatchably bad - prepare for a lot of fast forwardingThere 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 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 Rating: - Worth itI don't like to write long things, but I will sum this movie up for you. Good movie for a Great price. It's hard to find this movie in stores, at least around here, so bundle this up with something else you like and get the free shipping and you got yourself a good deal. Rating:  - Willem Dafoe in an over the top performanceBased on the wide disparity of the other ratings here at Amazon Boondock Saints appears to be a love it or hate it type of film. In my case I neither loved it nor hated it. I found the story of two Irish brothers performing incredibly violent and at times implausible acts of vigilantism entertaining enough. At times the plot seemed a bit disjointed and jumpy. However Willem Dafoe's performance as a federal agent on their trail is so over the top and campy that I think he stole the movie. His banter ...
