To quickly sum it up it's about two brothers who decide to take the law into their own hands. It seems like it's just the dvd transfer upscaled which is a little dissapointing.
The sound is good though, thankfully. Some scenes look pretty good, while others have some heavy grain.
For years now I've heard a lot about The Boondock Saints and how great and underrated it is. While it's not all action and violence, there's definitely plenty of it here.But it takes a second seat to the story which is very refreshing since a lot of movies of this ilk are all flash and no depth.My only complaint lies with the blu-ray transfer.
Extra wise you're getting two commentaries, deleted scenes, outtakes, a printable script, and a trailer.Even with the dull transfer, I'd recommend this to any fan of crime cinema.You won't regret checking this one out. I hate to admit it but I just now got around to seeing it.The film was really captivating and never boring.
Being a fan of "vigilante" films I was quickly drawn into the movie.
The actors are uniformly OK--doing their best to breath life into a dead and pointless script. This is one of the most homoerotic Irish films ever made. Skip it. That this film has found a home on video says more about the poor taste and lack of intellectual skills of those who excuse ignorance and anarchy for "good independent film making." It isn't. That doesn't make it good--because it isn't. It's a sad piece of amateurish film making, from the "writing," to the direction and editing.
It is a good conversation piece that opens a lot of debates regarding good vs. Willem Defoe is a little over the top at times, but all in all this is a great movie. evil and how we can expect to get justice in a corrupt system. Movie is awesome. Acting is great.
Great movie presented in a great picture quality (in comparance to its age and budget.).
The picture quality is amazing. you already know. There could be more special features, but if you are a fan of this movie and have a Blue Ray player - add this one to your cart. You cannot argue that The Boondock Saints is one of the best movies ever made. no one is reading this review to hear that.
