i suppose i can see how so many people could have be hoodwink into think this be a good movie . it just pile a bunch of cool imagery and idea together and fling them onto the screen . boondock saint be one of the more shallow bit of cinema to cross my path in a while . the twin be fantastic shot when hang upside down from twist rope while spin and wear ski mask . but line them up in front of one man in broad daylight and theyre lucky to escape with their life . speaking of shallow cool and that particular gunfight . it look cool when a man open his overcoat to reveal a vest with 6 holster and each contain a badass look handgun in slow motion . so while he constantly run out of bullet and and lightning quick and whip out a new gun and the twin have their divine gun that never need to be reload . that one of the main problem with this movie and it can not decide if it go to be one of those reload during a gunfight flick or a just keep shooting and never run out of bullet flick . just when you think the movie go to laugh at itself ( there be a firefight . ) and it actually show you that it doesn not get it own joke . as far a the murky morality go and it want to come across a leave the judgement a to whether the twin be right or wrong to the viewer . but the camera and the script love these irish rogue a little too much . linger on their nakedness and their wicked grin and and their righteousness a little too long . willem dafoe be a great actor and he do his best with the unfortunate script . but behind every great actor be a great director and dafoe performance make me think duffy be never there to reign in dafoe fantastic imagination and energy . finally and i can understand the need for rocco character while the twin need a spaz around so they look even cooler by comparison . but do the actor have to suck so much .
