Review of The Boondock Saints (1999) by Kurtish. — 08 Nov 2009
If you take this movie seriously, then you probably aren't going to like it. And if you think that the director failed at being "deep" by using "religious undertones" and so forth, then you should probably get a CT scan.
This movie is an action/comedy. It doesn't try to take itself serious or be deep. It is what it is. On a seperate note, those who say that it is riping off other great films should take another look.
There is no such thing as an original idea anymore. It's all been done, and if you take the time to pick up a few books at your local library, you'll learn that these other films that you rave about aren't original either.
All in all, the movie is worth watching. However, if you happen to be a self proclaimed intellectual, a snob, or a prude, you will probably rate this movie poorly because you won't be able to see passed the cover and into the brilliance that this movie contains within its humorous plot and wonderfully stylized action scenes.
