The Boondock Saints is fairly old, it came out in 1999, but in my opinion, it is a pretty good movie. The plot follows two Irish brothers, Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy MacManus (Norman Reedus). they aren't anything to special really, they work in a meatpacking plant in Boston, and they have a pretty normal life. Well that changes on St. Patrick's Day, when they get into a fight at a bar with two Russian mafia thugs. Well the thugs come back and find them later, and Connor and Murphy end up killing them. They turn themselves in and get away clean, since it was self defense. They end up thinking that their calling from God is to help rid the world of evil people, so they start knocking off bad guys one by one. Instead of getting arrested and thrown into prison, the newspapers call them 'saints' and they get away with everything.
This movie is pretty violent, so if you don't like movies with that in them, this isn't the one for you. There is also a sequel out, the Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day which came out in 2009. I haven't seen it but I've heard that its pretty good.
since it is a fairly violoent movie i think id would enjoy it. sounds like a good movie.
ReplyDeleteI watched this movie when I was a freshman, so I don't remember a lot about it. I do remember it being very gory adn violent, though. Overall I liked this movie.
ReplyDeleteOh wow i'm not much for violent movies. This sounds like a good movie but i don't think that i can watch it. Why wouldn't they get caught? Was everyone scared of them or what?
ReplyDeleteI really am not for the whole action kind of movies. But this was a good movie !
ReplyDeleteI have seen this movie and liked it. I have also seen Boondock Saints 2 and liked that one too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this movie, but I'm not sure I'm really interested in seeing the sequel. What about this first one makes you recommend it?
