It does the job, but doesn't do a very good job of it.

The Boondock Saints, sorry to say, wasn't worth the trouble.
05/11/02
A ridiculous, self-important amalgamation of rehashed macho posturing and slow-motion bloodletting. Do yourself a favor: do not attend a convocation with these Saints.

Definitely an exercise in style over substance.

Duffy has made a film that sort of straddles the fine line between great movie and useless piece of garbage.
06/29/02
It is, by turns, hilariously awful and just plain unhilariously awful, full of its own nonexistent momentousness, an unintentional parody of hardboiled gangster flicks.

[A] dim-witted, aesthetically clunky Tarantino clone.

Visualmente interessante, o filme se corrompe ao fazer apologia da “justiça com as próprias mãos”. Ainda assim, a atuação de Dafoe merece ser conferida.

It's one thing to make a film that's violent and profane; it's another to make one that's a moral black hole, and to do it because black looks cool. [Blu-ray]

More interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs, pic is stuffed with effects that have no lasting impact.

Stylish and fun in a cheeseball sort of way.
05/29/03
It taps into everyone's secret desire for vigilantism.

While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring.
