The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day


My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The Saints are back in business again after someone inside the mob kills a priest, making officials wonder if the Saints were involved in the kill. A new FBI agent is working for them on the inside while chasing them down at the same time. This one lacks the original humor and outrageous scenes that made the first film fun. Not as much swearing, but then there doesn't seem to be as much talking during the bloody/bad scenes in this one as a whole either. Still entertaining, but the first one was better.

The Boondock Saints


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Two Irish brothers start killing mafia thugs, determining it is their mission from God to eliminate the evil in the world. An FBI agent can't decide if he wants to bring them in or help them. Rather eccentric in his own right, he goes in to this odd conducting pattern with classical music any time he's working through one of their crime scenes. While he works for the law, he likes who these boys are bringing down. The public has dubbed them the "Saints," either loving what they're doing or attempting to take an overall stand against violence. It's yet to be determined if they'll be caught, even if they are now out in the open. A little too much swearing for my tastes, but otherwise an entertaining film.
