Boondock Saints

[andyjoe]

what the freak?

it started off good, but right when I saw Ron Jeremy, the production value went down for me by 60%

and Defoe as a transvestite?

it just ran off the rails about half-way through.

[Boris the Blade]

Hmm. Yep. Yer right. Way overrated by indie gangster nuts.

[Howlett]

The only thing about the movie that really pissed me off was some scene with Defoe looking like he was crying at a crime scene, and shooting his gun in the air. It was possibly the most retarded scene I've seen in any movie.

Other than that, there was nothing about this film I didn't love :lol:

[cqb101]

Greatest movie ever. You know it. Just admit it.

[Patrick J]

It is a great flick. But nowhere near deserving of the cult status it's developed in the past two years or so.

True Story, Swear to God. I was talking with some retard that was swearing (lying) to me that they saw it in the theatre in their hometown (of Bumblefuck, NJ). I think they wanted to seem cool. Boondock Saints was only released in 5 theatres for 1 week in January of 2000.

The Writer/Director of Boondock Saints is apparantly a HUGE douchebag. There's a great documentary called 'Overnight' that's all about him and his quick rise and immediate fall.

[Movie Maker]

worst movie ever.

No they aren't.....they've been saying that for years, it's never gonna happen.

I wouldn't be so certain about that anymore.

Watch 'Overnight'

[The Roman Candle]

I loved it when I was a teenager.

I got older and realized it's actually kinda stupid, but with a couple good parts.

Then I saw Overnight, and laughed my ass off. Now I have no ass.

Last I heard it was in seemingly permanant creative limbo.

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I have since I first saw it a few years and still do today. Damn, I see nothing wrong with this flick.

You're all retarded. :-P

[Fake Pat]

the only thing that hurts that movie in my eyes is the annoying loud cop that defoe is always busting on. he's played by Bob Marley, who's the number one stand-up in maine, and he is fucking TERRIBLE as an actor, a comedian, and a human as far as i can tell.

Yeah, but thats why its great to see him getting ripped on.

I used to LOVE this movie when it first came out, (being from Irish Catholic from Boston) and I'm glad to say that I was one of the first few people to see it after its release to DVD. I do agree though, that after over 6 years now, it has lost its luster. I used to watch this movie almost religiously, every few days, and hell, I still use my old screen name which dons the BoondockSaint(and special numbers) so I know whats up.

After watching Overnight, I do see how one man can truely become drunk with power and lose his career, family, friends, bar etc. Its a sad tale, but oh well, if Troy Duffy is a dick, then he's a dick.

[Patrick J]

if Troy Duffy is a dick, then he's a dick.

Yes, but does that mean we can't at least enjoy his one good movie? His art?

I mean, can we not enjoy The Ring Cycle, particularly The Ride of the Valkyries just because Richard Wagner was an anti-semitic piece of shit?

well, to be fair to Wagner... most of Europe throughout history were anti-semitic...

but, my comment had nothing to do with duffy's art.

Just makin' sure :)

[Corwin: Bear Fighter]

What a piece of overrated crap.

[emeraldsundae]

THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!




my favourite line from the movie

[Humphrey_Lee]

I still love this movie, despite not watching it very often anymore. I can quote lines from Rocco all fucking day though.

(paraphrase)

Girl: You killed my cat? Why?
Rocco: I thought it would help bring closure to our relationship, bitch.


Rocco: I can't walk to the store to buy a pack of smokes without running into nine guys that you've fucked!


Rocco: We could kill everybody...

[chris page]

i had a ton of people whose opinions i respect go on about how kickass this movie was, and i have never been so let down in my life. (including the superbowl last year)

i will never forgive this movie for showing me defoe as a transvestite. his acting in general was fucking horrible, and that whole THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT sequence made me cringe.

i wouldn't even give it a going off the rails at a half way point. it derailed about 10 minutes in and just got worse from there.

And so many more. One of my favorite movie characters ever.

Rightly so.

[Humphrey_Lee]

Rightly so.

I'll tip her!

[bairdduvessa]

great flick, the on;y provlem with it imo is that they used the protestant version of the lords prayer

[Jacob Lyon Goddard]

i sat there at the age of 18 (19?) watching this and thinking "Damn, if i had seen this when i was 12, i'd think it was the greatest movie EVAR!"

[Adam Witt]

I actually just watched it about 10 minutes ago for the first time. I enjoyed it. Bit over-the-top in spots, but I enjoyed it.

[WAKKAJAWAKKA]

You're all retarded. :-P

Agreed. And Defoe Going Crazy And Crying At The Last Gunfight Was Great.

Wayno.

[CapnChaos]

One of my old roommates loved this movie. She'd watch it at least once a week.

I enjoy the hell out of it, but I think it is overrated at this point.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

I have never seen it and don't plan on seeing it.

[Garth]

Well, I saw this about 4 yrs ago, expecting greatness and I found out it was utter shit. Never understood what everyone loved about it. More power to them, but I just don't think it is worthy of its praise.

[LazyComix]

I saw Overnight with the intention of seeing Boondock Saints after. But the guy was such a huge asshole, I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

That guy had everything handed to him on a platter and he screwed it up. Sad in a way, but I don't think he regrets it at all, so it's not really that sad. Boondock Saints should've been better than Goodfellas after the way he talked about himself.

[Joe Doesn't Care]

what the freak?

and Defoe as a transvestite?

Oh come one the scene when Ron rubbin one out and get's his head (the big one,:scared: no wait the the one his shoulders) get's blown off....Priceless!!!!:D

I'll I've ever seen when I've watched this film is another inept "Tarantinoesque" crime film. I also don't understand the appeal.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Maybe it's my Britishness, but I always found the idea of Defoe playing a homosexual detective who gay-bashes his boyfriends to be highly amusing...

[BenC (formerly Ape-X)]

Hmm. Yep. Yer right. Way overrated by indie gangster nuts.

Thank-fucking-gawd! Someone else who feels this movie was/is INSANELY over-rated!

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Maybe it's my Britishness, but I always found the idea of Defoe playing a homosexual detective who gay-bashes his boyfriends to be highly amusing...

I thought it was a great role for him, and I'm not even British...

[McAfee]

Dafoe was way over-the-top in just about every scene he was in. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I did enjoy the film, though.

[aj110]

Where you goin? Nowhere! That's right. Nowhere! Fuckin' NOWHERE!

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

What're ya gonna need a fuckin rope for?

[Buk Was Right]

"people in glass houses... sink ships"

"FUCK! ASS!"

... love that guy.

"Is it dead?"
