DVD Review "BOONDOCK SAINTS" Score: A- 91%

How I ever missed this independent Gem of a film is almost unforgivable except for the fact that have now seen it. Really a great film in both concept and action. On par with Pulp Fiction and True Romance. The concept of these vigilantes on a mission to destroy the evil criminals of the day works great as does their almost random choices of who is next. The gun fights are superior especially on the first meeting with the old man. DeFoe in a creepy role as the cop who hunts them down, solves their actions at the crime scenes and ultimately wants to and does join them in their mission. SPOILERS: DeFoe as a prostitute helping the guys out is priceless and In the end the crazy Italian being the only non survivor means a sequel will most likely be brilliant as well. Billy Connely is in his best role to date here and for a stand up comedian he transitioned into a great actor. Really liked this one. My type of film.
