The Boondock Saints
Fraternal twins Conner (Flanery - SUICIDE KINGS) and Murphey (Reedus - GOSSIP) MacMannus are on a mission from God to rid Boston of crime. However, instead of signing up for the police force, these hard-drinking Irish-American brothers take the law into their own hands a la Charles Bronson in DEATH WISH. Heralded as saints by the city's beleaguered residents, the brothers also attract the attention of Paul Smecker (Defoe - EXISTENZ), the openly gay FBI special agent assigned to investigate the spate of killings amongst the ranks of the Russian mafia. First-time director Duffy pulls out all the breaks in this inventive, action-packed thriller sure to please fans of HARD BOILED and RESERVOIR DOGS.

This film is not for everyone, you'll either Love it or Hate it... there's no in-between.
Story-wise it runs like a classic 90s vigilante ...

Happy Shopper Tarantino rip-off drivel of the lowest order.
Childish use of slo-mo, dreadful dialogue and ham fisted direction.
Avoid.
