Seen it and own it.

Good flick, though I thought it could have been executed a little better.

Executed! Now that's funny! :mrgreen: What do mean by that exactly? A little confusing in the beginning? The comic-bookish style? Pretty darn cool comic book I'll say-Irish superheroes--that's new a twist! Was Bullseye playing darts in that bar? :? :P

I freaking hated The Boondock Saints. It concerns two Irish-American fraternal twin brothers and their Italian-American friend (who knows all the local crime lords) going on a vigilante-style slaughtering rampage of Russian Mafia figures in South Boston. The movie could have had some potential value as a study of what motivates people to become vigilante killers, but instead it just endorses a series of stylized slow-motion bloodbath scenarios. These 3 vigilante killers are pursued by an eccentric gay FBI agent (played by Willem DaFoe) that recounts to his men how the shootouts must have taken place while waving his index fingers around as if conducting an invisible orchestra. Weird stuff, lacking any cleverness, subtlety, or irony, or any moral point at all. It's like the movie's writer/director wanted to make Tarantino knockoff with crappy production. I say avoid The Boondock Saints as if it carried the Ebola virus or the deadly delta variant of Covid within it! I traded the movie off for credit at a secondhand store shortly after watching it.

Julie and I really enjoyed this film.

The sequel on the other hand we never finished.
