Tired of the crime overrunning the streets of Boston, Irish Catholic twin brothers Conner (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) are inspired by their faith to cleanse their hometown of evil with their own brand of zealous vigilante justice. As they hunt down and kill one notorious gangster after another, they become controversial folk heroes in the community. But Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe), an eccentric FBI agent, is fast closing in on their blood-soaked trail.

The Boondock SaintsA juvenile, ugly movie that represents the worst tendencies of directors channeling Tarantino.
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader A macho bloodbath with a lot of juvenile humor and fake Catholic mysticism. Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club Satire or self-parody would be vastly preferable to the film's unironic endorsement of outlaw justice, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything resembling irony or subversiveness in this exercise in lovingly rendered ultra-violence. Jul 26, 2011 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness [A] dim-witted, aesthetically clunky Tarantino clone. Rated: C- Oct 23, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The entire production feels uneven, shoddy, and offensively oxymoronic. Rated: 0.5/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins An enthralling gangster epic, a solid action film, and a jolting vigilante-justice crime caper. Rated: 7/10 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus The Boondock Saints, on one level, is a really great direct-to-video cult film. Stylish, defiantly endearing, and even borderline iconic. Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
Thomas G Iconic, one of the best! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review John F Story and script aren't great but Dafoe's performance makes it worth watching. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Simon G Willem Dafoe slayed so hard in this Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review J C I saw this when it first came out and recently revisited it. It's still a great movie, though it's not going to be for everyone. It's not overly complex or deep but there's a certain charm to it that I like. William Dafoe is hilarious and bizarre. Critics bash it for being overly bloody and violent. I suppose for the time it may have been but these days it seems rather tame.
