My friends have been urging me to see the Boondock Saints for a while now. I finally decided to rent it this past Saturday. I must say, I enjoyed it and will definitely be adding it to my DVD collection. The action sequences are very well done and entertaining and really keep the film going.
However, there are a lot of things in this movie that really did not make much sense to me. First of all, I don't understand why these two Irish brothers suddenly decide to become vigilantes. They kill two Russian mobsters in self defense then make a desicion to wage an all out war on crime. It just seemed kind of out-of-the-blue to me. Another thing is that how could two meat factory workers become cold-blooded, sharpshooting, professional killers in a matter of a few days? And also, Wilem Defoe is the most unconvincing woman I have ever seen.
Other than those story flaws, I thought it was an immensely entertaining movie with good performances all around. Most notably Wilem Defoe as an unorthodox FBI investigator. Overall, it's a fun movie and great to watch with a group of friends.
