Review of The Boondock Saints (1999) by Spiken. — 14 Mar 2007
Easily the stupidest movie I have ever seen. Among the laziest writing technique knows- the juxtaposition- finds newer, higher, stupider levels in this movie. There are religious self-styled assassains, the tough homosexual detective who berates his partner by calling him "faggot.
" Ugh, it gets worse: the would-be anti-heroes pray before killing. Cool! And even worse: gunshot wounds are treated with a clothes iron- apparently severe trauma can be fixed in the same manner as wrinkled khakis.
Almost all the characters in this movie are "bad tv" stereotypes, and that's an insult to bad tv. The plot is laden with silly psudo-Freudian musings and about the shallowest philosophy you are bound to encounter this side of the Matrix.
The fight scenes are garbage- slowmotion, undercranked predictable nonsense coreographed to a hot rock score. A trainwreck of a movie. I wish there were negative scores.
