I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I actually kinda hate it: its derivative, self-righteous, gleefully violent, incredibly douchy, and just plain despicable. Its biggest problem is it exists in a no-man's land of style that's both too unique and too cliched, making any of interesting aspect (non-linear storytelling, everything Dafoe is doing) feel more pretentious than earned.

So this director is the ultimate one trick pony/one hit wonder. But it's a damn fine motion picture. The plot pulls you in, the characters are strange but extremely like-able and the violence is not only graphic but very creative. This movie is all kinds of awesome but the sequel sucks and the director hasn't made anything else worth watching. Thankfully the cast didn't suffer the same fate. The writer/director clearly threw together every good idea and element of a great movie that he had into this flick which makes it stand out but it seems that he only had enough good content for one movie

Quite a good watch. Had never heard of it until a couple days ago - on a Screen Junkies video - and since it was being praised and Willem Dafoe, I decided to give it try. Dafoe is exactly the best part of it. Over the top, funny and really full-on crazy, his character carries the whole film not letting it turn boring and stale. Another fresh idea are the flashbacks. I wasn't expecting they'd choose this route to illustrate the most of the action scenes and it surely delivers. It's very interesting to look at the crime scene and at the same time as the cops, try to find out what happened. Unlike what I've seen written about this specific part of the film, it's not like it gets too much repetitive since as Smecker is closer to finding out who are "The Saints" he too gets incorporated in this action scenes, in quite spectacular fashion. The rest of the cast, specially Reedus, Flanery and the first-timer Della Rocco also make for interesting performances, despite not at the same level. The film is visceral, "balls to the wall" and certainly feels fresh, with some inventive camera work and choreography. The action scenes felt gripping and somewhat intense.Recommended

I can't say I fully understand the zeal of "The Boondock Saints'" (1999) cult following, but I had fun with it — I'd give it an 8 out of 10 for being unusual and unexpectedly diverting.I don't really see it as a crime thriller — it's more like an absurdly violent situation-comedy. It borrows its tone and style from 1994's "Pulp Fiction," not to mention its own shock-comedy throwaway scene involving an accidentally discharged sidearm.Like its superior inspiration, its formula is creating quirky, likable characters with some funny dialogue, and then raising the tension by placing them in the midst of graphic violence. It mostly succeeds — Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus' characters are endearing, cool and easy to root for. I laughed out loud a few times, and I can see how their telegenic antiheroes would attract a devoted fandom.The directing seemed choppy and even amateurish. I noticed this right from the opening credits, which are awkwardly spliced with the on screen introduction of the main characters.The screen writing is a little spotty, too — we're never told, for example, how its two protagonists come to be such proficient assassins. (Are they former military? Is there a joke here I'm missing about them being "blessed," consistent with the "saints" motif and all the references to Catholicism?) Nor do we get much meaningful information about their motivations. (Their bloody crusade begins only when they kill several gangsters in self- defense, then they seem to pursue a life of vigilantism as an afterthought.) Finally, our antiheroes seem refreshingly real and identifiable, while other characters (Willem Dafoe's detective and Billy Connolly's mafia hit-man) seem cartoonish enough to populate a farce like "The Naked Gun" series).Again, though — this was fun. I'd recommend it.
