Review of The Boondock Saints (1999) by Brandon B — 12 Jun 2012

How far is too far? What is justice in the face of so much evil? Two brothers decide they've had enough of the system and decide to take matters into their own hands.

Dealing with a very serious subject matter, but never taking itself too seriously, Boondock Saints tells the story through two likeable Irish boys in South Boston. Humor runs rampant, with cheesy one liners and bad Irish accents. Along for the ride is Rocco, their helplessly dim-witted but humorous friend. While not exactly essential to the overall plot, he's one of those characters you can't help but love. Willem Dafoe gives a clever, amusing, and..... interesting performance as the agent assigned with catching them, but dealing wtih moral issues of his own.

All in all great fun, can't go wrong with 2 funny Irish Catholic lads going on a violent rampage through the city killing bad guys.
