Boondock Saints

[Death Before Dishonor]

I watched this movie last night with a bunch of people, and I thought it totally kicked ass. I loved every minute of it, and it kept me interested the whole time, unlike some movies. I really need to get this DVD. Anyone else seen this? If so, what did you think?

It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. And also, it's set in Boston... which is another plus in my book.

I'm a huge fan of it. A mate of mine showed it to me during college, and I loved it immediately. There's been talk of a sequel (called All Saints Day) for practically ever, but the director is a notorious asshole and nobody wants to work for him. He's largely the reason that Boondock Saints went straight to video.

I bought it on Amazon.com last year for next to nothing, btw, so it might be a good place to look.

I thought they scrapped the theater release of the movie because of all the blackballing censorship shit right after Columbine.

Least that's what I heard.

He is actually Blacklisted last I heard by order of Harvey Weinstein... I believe this is the basis of an independant film called 15 Minutes (might not be the title)

Yeah, the directer could have been big if he wasn't such a twat.

Definatly one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, pure brilliance.

The movie's decent, but it's really overrated like a mofo on the internet.

I like the movie a lot. I have the DVD (there are a couple of versions out, one bare-bones, and one with commentary), and the final scene in the courtroom is one of my favourite monologues of any movie I've ever seen. The whole "some day, you will look behind us and see we three..." thing is just bloody awesome. DaFoe describing the shoot-out as it happens was fantastic, too.

If you liked (or didn't, for that matter) the movie, try and check out "Overnight"...it is a docuemtnary that strated off being a documentation of Troy Duffy's sudden rise to fame with the movie, but then it turned into a movie showing what a dick he really turned out to be...telling off his brother, close friends, etc, and just generally letting the movie thing all go to his head, convincing himself that he was the new big thing in Hollywood.

Great movies, both of them.
