They are soon confronted by a priest who informs them that someone back in Boston has attempted to sully the name of the Saints by executing a priest in the same manner the brothers would have done it in.
This prompts them to return to Boston to give the city another cleansing from evil.
Once again written and directed by Troy Duffy and starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Clifton Collins Jr., Julie Benz and Billy Connolly.
In the opening scene, the brothers look like they haven't seen a shower, razor or a pair of scissors for the entire length of the last eight years they have been in seclusion which made for some very ridiculous looking special effects on their hair and beards making them look like they just came out of the stone age.
Following this things seem to smooth out back to normal and it begins to carry-on like the first film had.
With the exceptions of who they were going after and the final two scenes, the movie felt almost identical to its predecessor. But again there isn't too much you can change about the premise of the story. These characters, no matter what you put them in, have ultimately the same goal of killing their target. Plain and simple.
One thing that really did bother me was how they used Julie Benz in the same identical matter as the used Dafoe in the first film. Their characters were practically identical.
It still is enjoyable to watch, even if it is just for the final few scenes to see how the story progresses. There's a lot of action and a lot of jokes to go around in this sequel. 6 out of 10.
