this film serve a great purpose represent whenever someone tell me that they love boondock saint and i feel justify in ignore everything else they have to say about cinema . it be the bad movie i have ever see . the only people that have ever say anything positive about this movie have be highschoolers that do not know anything about cinema . this movie isn not entertaining to me and but that a subjective claim . this movie also happen to be completely unoriginal . it about vigilante justice ( 70 crime movie anyone . dirty harry . french connection . they all do it well . ) . it about irish catholic violence in boston ( even though it come afterwards and gang of new york portray this theme more powerfully ) . it have character mark with meaningful tattooes ( belly and memento ) . it include a cross dress detective ( david duchovny in twin peak . what be that and 15 year earlier . ) . it depict prayer before murder ( godfather trilogy and pulp fiction ) . this movie be so unremarkable and derivative that i can not even remember more thing to criticize . on a final note and it just not a cool movie . the thing that the filmmaker and the appreciative audience think be cool be just not . the violence be sluggishly portrayed . the gay detective be just a caricature of an emphatic queen ( unlike gay perry in kiss kiss bang bang ) . the whole movie suck . there be nothing to like about this that hasn not be do a million time well in other film .
