 - one of the best (and strangest) film nobody has ever heard ofThis is a great film, but it never got the attention or exposure it deserved. People compare it to Quentin Tarentino, but that doesn't do it justice. Quentin Tarentino has never done an original film in his life. Its all just homaige and 1970s explotation nostalgia. The other thing it has that Tarantino doesn't have is a sense of humor. In a certain way it owes more to something like fight club than tarantino. There are lots of "stand up and be a man" moments in the film. The structure of the film with the police investigating what happened and then showing what happened worked well. The flaws in the film are a slow start and the lack of an ending. Its a film with a particular audience and appeal. Its not going to go over well with people outside that audience. The film should really be remade with a bigger budget. With tweaks to the script and some more expensive action sequences, a new version of this film marketed properly would bring in a ton of money. 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 to enjoy a certain type of movie to enjoy this like Braveheart, Goodfellas, etc. Some people might not like the violence, which I thought was necessary to tell the story effectively. I highly recommend this movie and wish there was a sequel or even a prequel. Rating: - great purchasemy first dvd got scratched and the best price i could find was here on amazon 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!
