| The Boondock Saints Civic Video Review Available August 8 Irish brothers Connor and Murphy McManus (Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus) live and work in Boston. Feeling that God's will to rid earth from all human evil was given to them as a mission, they set out to do their 'holy' deed- in the best tradition of The Blues Brothers, they're on a mission from God. A public outcry is never heard, and even FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe), who follows their trace of bloodshed, admits that the boys are doing exactly what he has always secretly wished would happen. Risking their lives for their beliefs of Veritas (Truth) and Aequitas (Justice), the Boondock Saints are hyped by the public, for they are doing good, which only few dare to admit. A dark and violent black comedy, The Boondock Saints is not for the faint of heart or easily offended. But it does dare to push the limits, which is something few films try these days. |
