The Boondock Saints (DVD)

...I tend to go against the grain at times, and my taste in films also follows this trend. I usually dislike most of the big blockbuster films, probably because they are so hyped, that by the time I see them, they just don't live up to what I was expecting.. I also think a lot has to do with how good the publicity agents are, and how gullible a lot of the public can be. I was going to say they are like sheep, but I often watch the sheep in the fields ...
...is not an opinion on the Silence of the Lambs, so back to the issue in hand. Away from the biggies, I have come across a few real gems in the lesser known film catagories. Mind you, I think with directors and scriptwriters, it's all down to the old 'who you know' scenario. So this opinion is on one such film called The Boondock Saints. The Boondock Saints (1999), is a Tarantino type film, only in my view, better, and I'm sure Quentin would have loved ...

Review of The Boondock Saints (DVD)

I came across the Boondock saints by accident whilst trawling through a number of titles on the IMDB movie database, I noticed that Willem Dafoe was in the film but I had never heard of the title. The viewer ratings were good to excellent and the plot interested me, I paid £9.99 for a new copy of the film on DVD (Sept 06). Released in 1999 with a UK Certificate of 18 the movie stars, among others, Willem Dafoe as an FBI Organised Crime Agent, Sean ...
...Troy Duffy wrote and directed the movie and his talent comes through in the way the movie is put together, effect then cause, the viewer sees the outcome of an action then sees the action unfold.
