Explore the harrowing world of The Boondock Saints as never before in this Unrated Special Edition! Digitally remastered for extraordinary picture quality and exploding in 5.1 EX Dolby Surround Sound, this definitive two-disc edition of the cult phenomenon features deleted scenes, outtakes, two audio commentaries, a printable script and more!
Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the brutal murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they've been chosen to rid the world of evil. But as they unleash more brutality on the criminals of Boston's underworld, Smecker finds himself torn between busting the vigilantes...and joining them!
Charismatic young stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus play two Irish brothers, Connor and Murphy, who believe themselves ordained by God to rid the world of evil men. Their first killing is in self-defense; but after that, they start killing with devotion, gunning down a summit of the Russian mafia. Willem Dafoe plays a gay FBI agent (he listens to opera while examining crime scenes) who knows what the boys are doing but feels that their vigilante tactics are necessary. There's not much plot to The Boondock Saints — it's mostly a series of violent scenes in which the boys are partially ingenious and partially lucky. The movie seems to want to provoke debate about vigilantism, but the scenario is too implausible to stir any real controversy. The peculiar mix of earnestness and machismo will not appeal to everyone, but it's certainly unique and may acquire a cult following. — Bret Fetzer

- IMHO, the best movie ever made!
- Due to lack of advertising, I didn't see this movie til a few years after its release when a good friend of mine bought it for me and I'm very glad he did. This movie is up there with my top favorite movies. Buy this movie, you won't be disappointed...and if you are, I doubt it'll take you long to find a new owner for your Boondock… More reviews
- I love this movie
- I love this movie because it is a combination between action and comedy and it has an interesting argument. The two main characters are murderers. However, they only go after criminals, and criminals who perform the worst crimes. So they are like vigilantes.... Irish Catholic vigilantes at that. I absolutely love this movie and it's plot. It is funny and action packed.… More reviews
- Makes a nice crunching sound when you shred it....
- I'd rather eat cold pork gravy with a hair in it than sit though this thing again. This is the only DVD that I owned that actually ran though my shredder after watching it. Some films are so bad their good. This waste of time is so bad it's bad. If the Sopranos and Death Wish films were first cousins and… More reviews
- Interesting
- This is an interesting movie. I only rated it a three-star. It certainly asks what is moral and what is for the 'greater good', etc. The movie starts a little slow to me, but it gets better. It has more drama than action, in my opinion. It's certainly worth watching once.… More reviews
- Look A Little Closer..
- The film Boodock Saints can be considered a cult classic, but this title also hurts it. Many people do not look past the language or the sheer impossibility of these circumstances ever happening. This film is fun to watch, has quirky lines and situations, and even has a moral.
Brothers Connor and Murphy exemplify true Bostonian Irishmen.… More reviews
