Boondock saints

(Release: 1999
Actors: Willem Dafoe, Sean flanneey & Norman reedus)


This is one exhilerating watch. And i loved it!

Its funny. Its thrilling. Its messy. And gawd! this movie manges to be arty too, at times!

The movies is a tale of two "spiritual" irish guys set out to erase evil from the planet with their mafia friend. And while they execute all evil reading bible its just so cool. Thrown in the middle is a bit of drama. A lot of action.
A lot of fun. It has got mafia in it. It has got the FBI in it. A clever detective and the mean evil in it. In fact this is one of the rare few movies that have made the killings and the massacres look artistic and funny at the same time.
Its a wild shooting party throughout. The biggest positive for this movie is the element of thrill that it manages to maintain thorughout.

The characters have been clearly defined with the story. The irish brothers (Norman Reedus and Sean flanery) are just so cute and cool.
Willem Dafoe is at his acting best. (After antichrist, this one! man! am one fan of Dafoe like never before. !)

Verdict.
The verdict is as clear as a bottle of vodka: If you are looking for one action movie, which is light, funny and low on a lot of drama and other sorts of morass, this is the one for you!
My rating 7.5/10
