The Boondock Saints (1999)

After having an epiphany (message from God), two fraternal twin brothers decide to hunt down and kill the most notorious and dangerous men around in order to rid Boston of all that is evil.

Written and directed by Troy Duffy and starring Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly and William Dafoe.

Filmed in a very artistic manner, Boondock Saints shows the results of the brother's actions prior to the showing of the actual events in where they use the FBI agent (played by Dafoe) to explain what had taken place and walks through the events with the audience as it plays out of screen.

This is a very fun an enjoyable flick that never seems to slow down. The story is simple but goes above and beyond for each and every scene. All in a mostly realistic manner. It shares a great mix of action, comedy and a serious aspect.

All the acting was spot on, everybody portrayed their characters without a hitch and made all their characters to be very easily likable, but I do have to go on record to say that William Dafoe's character, without a doubt, absolutely steals the show by playing a gay FBI agent who is on the top of his game. He also gives us a fun little twist near the end of the film that is just incredibly hilarious.

Without ruining anything about the film for anybody I will leave you with this. Get out there and see this film if you have not done so yet. Buy it, rent it or Netflix it, I don't care. just check this out ASAP!

Easily a 9 out of 10!
