The Boondock Saints
Directed by Troy DuffyDet är morgonmässa i en kyrka i Boston och prästen uttalar sin välsignelse över församlingen. Samtidigt går de irländska tvillingbröderna Connor och Murphy MacManus nerför altargången och kysser sin frälsares fötter. Senare samma eftermiddag festar de med polarna på den lokala puben. Men plötsligt händer något som bryter den goda stämningen. Något mycket våldsamt... Nästa morgon blir den excentriske FBI-agenten Paul Smecker tillkallad för att utforska ett groteskt mord på två ryska gangsters.Hans tillvägagångssätt är minst sagt annorlunda. Väl på brottsplatsen sätter Smecker på sig sina hörlurar och vrider upp den klassiska operan på högsta volym. Han kastar ett par hastiga blickar på bevismaterialen, delar ut några order och sätter igång utredningen.
- Hipster ZOMBIE4 april 2025Troy Duffy’s Boondock Saints is one of the last truly great masculine action comedies of the 20th century. The film is bloody, unapologetic, ballsy, and a true love letter to vigilante justice. Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery breathe life into Connor and Murphy, their bond as brothers stronger than steel and laced with humor, heart, and holy vengeance. And then there’s Willem Dafoe—utterly unhinged, brilliant, and unforgettable as FBI agent Paul Smecker. He dances on the line between genius and madness like no one else could. The film is soaked in stylized violence, Tarantino-esque flashbacks, and a hauntingly epic soundtrack that gives each gunfight a kind of poetic finality. The jokes and social commentary would make most ultra sensitive woke generation of today wet their pants and reach in anger for their keyboards….
- Chris29 december 2024If you are looking classic style acting or an emotional breathtaking film, please stop reading and move on nothing to see here! This is a great low budget cheesy action film. Was the acting great (no), was Oscar worthy (no)...This is a simple movie with a simple plot. However it is well worth the time. Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus and Willem Dafoe work very well together. This film takes nothing serious, but it works. Dafoe character seems one that he was born to play (an over the top over acted peace of brilliance).
- Zokkiie29 mars 2026Rough around the edges but weirdly memorable. It’s got that late-night, cult-movie feel where you can tell they just went for it, no overthinking. Some parts are kinda ridiculous, but it owns that energy instead of apologizing for it. The real standout is Willem Dafoe—completely unhinged in the best way, and easily the most entertaining thing on screen. Not everything clicks, but the personality is strong enough that you don’t really mind.
- Braden21 mars 2025"Where you going? NOWHERE!" The Boondocks Saints is a quintessential movie for a certain subset of young men. However, that does not mean it is a GOOD movie whatsoever. I revisit The Boondocks Saints every St. Patricks day. This year's take away - Norman Reedus is just so young here. The only truly redeemable quality of this movie is Willem Dafoe's performance as FBI Agent Paul Smecker. Everything else is peak-edge, which at one point in my life I really enjoyed. Once you take off the rose-tinted glasses, you'll realize that The Boondocks Saints just doesn't hold up. I'll still be watching it next year, though.
- makdelart18 mars 2026The film attempted to include numerous elements that were deliberately intended to elevate it to cult status. Unfortunately, with too much infantilized humor that might amuse teenagers at best, the ‘cult’ elements turn out to be kitsch, and the pastiche becomes cringe-worthy. At one point (in the very same film!), Dafoe’s character becomes a self-parody. In the style of Tarantino’s cinema? Just as a soy burger is in the style of a real Angus beef burger.
