Two Irish Catholic brothers become vigilantes and wipe out Boston's criminal underworld in the name of God. Irish brothers Connor & Murphy McManus live and work in Boston. Feeling that God's will to rid Earth from all human Evil was given to them as a mission, they set out to do their divine deed. A public outcry is never heard, and even FBI agent Paul Smecker, who follows their trace of bloodshed, admits that the boys are doing exactly what he secretly always has wished to happen. Risking their lives for their beliefs of Veritas (truth) and Aequitas (justice), the Boondock Saints are hyped by the public, for they are doing good, which only few dare to admit. Don't listen to what others say…this movie was fantastic. Coming from a woman who watches at least 1 movie a day, and one of few who can claim true passion for cinema…this movie is comparable to the style and themes of a Tarantino film. The ultimate plot of the movie was fantastically artistic and elegant. The characters danced in a tango with the plot, supporting characters, and the cinematic allusions. The 2 brothers brought forth realism and naturalism, and an intellectual sense of humor that makes you think before you laugh. Not like the fart, fat, and reality jokes the American public seems to think is so brilliantly funny these days. While some parts may be predictable, there are few movies that aren't so. Even Quintin movies have predictable themes and moments…<br/><br/>Overall this brought a fresh sense to violence in the media, and is a strong force in society's interpretation of too much violence is producing too much negativity. I love the inclusion of religious beliefs and violent methods to bring forth the realism of today's world, and also symbolize how "sinners" were dealt with according to the old testament….death.<br/><br/>In a nutshell…best film I have seen since Reservoir Dogs…Any true cinema lover can't disagree…well, they could, but they'd be wrong. I had heard a lot about this movie (friends, online, people's AIM profiles quoting it), but had never rented it or anything. It didn't seem my type.<br/><br/>Then, one day, I go to a friends house to watch it and I am BLOWN AWAY by this masterpiece. Masterpiece - I only use that word sparingly (Pulp Fiction, Braveheart, American Beauty…). This movie deserves it. I immediately bought the movie (for $9.99 at Best Buy) and watched it again the next day.<br/><br/>The plot is simple - two brothers, Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flannery, go on a killing spree with their friend, David DellaRocco. They vow to take out all the scum in their city (I believe a suburb of Boston or thereabouts, I could be wrong, haven't seen it since I bought it in August 2003). Willem Dafoe plays the homosexual, opera-loving, certifiably-insane, God-loving detective who is trying to track the case.<br/><br/>The movie is intense. The "confessional booth" scene is amazing. When Dafoe "enters" the crime scene, I got chills. The action-sequences are fantastic (don't listen to those who hate the movie, they have nothing better to do). The dialogue isn't brilliant, but it's not fake-brilliance like some movies who want nothing more than to be Tarantino.<br/><br/>The ending of the movie is amazing. One of the 5 best endings I've ever seen in a movie (you liked the ending of The Usual Suspects? that had nothing on Boondock Saints). BUT the very last scene is of a reporter interviewing people to see what they think of "vigilante killings" and it had nothing to do with the movie and it was horrible. I pretend the movie ends in the courtroom scene.<br/><br/>10/10. As written and directed by newcomer Troy Duffy, The Boondock Saints is all style and no substance, a film so gleeful in its endorsement of vigilante justice that it almost veers (or ascends) into self-parody. Although the film never explicitly states it, it's pretty clear that Agent Smecker is gay. The fact that he is intimate with another man in the film is pretty clear evidence. He also attends a gay bar for his drinking binge. However, this doesn't stop him from being rather belligerent towards other gay men and calling them 'fag' or 'fairy'. To put it simply the Unrated version features several extended action sequences and bloody shootouts that are missing in the R-rated version of the movie. You can find a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures here. Yes, he is their father. He knows the prayer that was passed down to them from their father and their father's father. He takes the 'In nómine Patris' part of the prayer, which means 'In the name of the Father.' The benediction he gives them (raising his hands in the sign of the cross over Murphy and Connor) is only appropriate for a priest…or a parent. Also, at the very end (after the courtroom scene), Connor calls him 'Da'. Il Duce was hired to kill the vigilantes, however, he didn't realize that they were his children, nor did Connor and Murphy realize that Il Duce was their father. It wasn't until Il Duce was about to ambush them at the end, when he overheard them saying their family prayer, that he obviously realized would be too much of a coincidence for someone else to know. Also, he knew he fathered twin sons; they just haven't seen each other for about 25 years. In the opening of the film, the brothers are in church praying when the priest begins talking about a victim named Kitty Genovese who was killed a long time ago in the middle of day and everyone watched but did not respond and about the indifference of good men towards evil. After hearing this, Connor states, "I do believe the monseigneur's finally got the point", to which Murphy responds, "Aye." Later on, its Saint Patrick's day and the brothers are at a bar drinking when three Russian gangsters come in and state that they will close the bar, but the brothers don't allow them, to which a fight begins between them, to which the Russians are left badly wounded. As the brothers rest in their apartment, the Russians come back and threaten the brothers. Connor is handcuffed to a toilet while Murphy is taken outside to be shot in the head. Connor, out of rage, breaks the toilet apart and throws it down the complex and hits the Russian, killing him. Connor jumps on the other Russian, to which Murphy finishes him off. The brothers go to the police station to prove that it was self-defense. Meanwhile, the police let them stay in a holding cell to avoid the media. While sleeping, water falls from the crack of the ceiling onto their bodies, symbolizing baptism and forgiven sin. The brothers realize this and say to each other, "Destroy that which is evil so that which is good may flourish." The brothers take the money and jewelry they took from the Russians they encountered and buy guns. Seeing all the sin that has went on, violence, drug use, rape, thievery, they swear that they will execute all evil men who have done sin in order that peace and goodness can be restored and evil can be stopped. On Murphy's hand it says "Veritas" meaning Truth and on Conner's hand it says "Aequitas" meaning Justice a5c7b9f00b download Deadly SituationThe Influence movie download in hdThe The Great Mistake of Dr. MilesBig Momma's House full movie online freethe Death Wish downloadParanoid tamil pdf downloadNaked Horror telugu full movie downloadthe Jackass 3D full movie in hindi free download hdKylo Ren Attacks Bikini Bottom full movie in hindi 720ptamil movie The Orphan Girl free download
