Boondock Saints Most movies are not considered “good” unless they are huge blockbuster hits in the theaters. I used to believe this until I came across a movie titled The Boondock Saints. This movie never came out in theaters and went straight to video due to the shooting violence in it. It was due to release around the time of the Columbine shooting so it was never released. I finally decided to watch it and I was enthralled by the picture. The Boondock Saints takes place in the seedy underworld of Boston. Connor and Murphy McManus, (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) two Irish brothers working in a meat packing plant, act on what they believe to be a message from God and will stop at nothing to reach their goal to rid the world of violence. Flanery and Reedus don't seem inspired by the opportunity, and as a result, they come off as inept and ham-handed in their roles. While the characters of the brothers McManus are indeed captivating, it is perhaps the dynamic nature of their roles that masks the deficiencies of Reedus and Flanery. movie, saints, one, never, world, violence, through, theaters, six, scene, reedus, mcmanus, god, flanery, film, evil, every, especially, detective, day, crime, brothers, boondock, blood, believe, working, work, willem, while, way, two, three, stop, smecker, shooting
