This sequel to the cult favorite The Boondock Saints is more of the same -- unoriginal, absurd, violent, over-the-top, and occasionally mean-spirited.

Boondock Saints, the 2000 crime picture renowned for the unique story of the fast rise and fall of its egomaniacal filmmaker, Troy Duffy, as well as the cult following that appeared later on home release, gets the sequel treatment with this follow-up. Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus reunite as the vigilante MacManus brothers, with Billy Connolly returning as Il Duce. Duffy once again directs from his own script, with Clifton Collins Jr., Julie Benz, and David Della Rocco filling out the

The plot is an afterthought, the performances given with a wink and a clip-emptying flourish.
Imagine Quentin Tarantino if he got his brow lowered.
Bold prediction: At his current glacial pace of progress, Troy Duffy is likely to write and direct the great Irish-American payback movie sometime in the year 2049.
It's as if writer/director Troy Duffy threw every idea he had at the wall, creating a very messy wall.
Writer-director Troy Duffy needs to YouTube himself a new idea or two, because his variations on themes provided by Quentin Tarantino and Guy "RocknRolla" Ritchie are pure mold.
Can you fly forward through the air while firing two heavy-duty handguns without your arms jerking back and smacking you in the chin? Would that violate one of Newton's laws? Just askin'.
[Norman] Reedus pretty much captures the entire film with his signature line: "Let's do some gratuitous violence."
For fans of the original underground hit, the sequel we were all wishing for has arrived.
"There's not a bigger '**** you!' from Hollywood than when they say: 'Eh, we're not going to release this film,'" "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" star Sean Patrick Flanery said in an interview.
If you liked the original "The Boondock Saints," you won't want to miss this one.
Idiotic style over some sorely needed substance....comes across cringingly rusty; a glorified fan film that only manages to make the popularity of the original picture all the more bewildering.
It would be a disservice of an almost, you will pardon the expression, sinful nature to mistake it for anything deep, or anything more profound than the hellzapopping fireworks show that it is
Trash--grubby and nonsensical, with lame dialogue, wretched overacting and clumsily staged action sequences.
You can't call Duffy's film style original. But he's clever in what he steals.
All I can really say is that if liking a movie where two guys swing off of ropes tied to a building into a window with guns blazing and proceed to slide across the floor on their knees while shredding mobsters up with bullets is wrong, then I don't want t
The only good thing to say about this brutal and brutally boring bit of blarney is that it is so relentlessly unpleasant and unappealing that we may never have to endure the likes of "The Boondock Saints III: Get Boondockier."
The sequel is just as overlong, filled with gay jokes, gay panic, racial slurs, Keystone Kops humor, ethnic pride, self-satisfied dialogue, and misguided biblical references.
Fans of the first film will definitely find much to love this time around.
Except if you are The Godfather: Part Two, it is nearly impossible to make a sequel that is equal or better then the original. It just is. The reason why is because when you first create an idea and make a film about it, that is it at it's purest and at it's hieght. With sequels, the idea is already exposed and the

The MacManus Brothers return to Boston to kill more people.There are some sequels, The Godfather Part II and even the second Terminator film, that build on the original film, and there are other sequels, like this one, that merely attempt to imitate the original. Clifton Collins as Romeo attempts to replace Rocco for
