preliminary remark represent the comment refer to a pre release version that be show at the fantasy film festival in cologne and germany and in august 1999. boondock saint be a clever and funny and sufficiently violent movie with an overall high entertainment value . the story revolve around two irish american brother and an excentric gay fbi agent ( awesome represent william dafoe ) . the brother devout catholic who speak several language fluently and work in a slaughterhouse find themselves equip with money and weapon and subsequently start their very own crusade against the evil men of boston professional killer and mafia boss and drug dealer . the agent be at their heel from the outset and but he have to realize that justice be on the side of the brother . this basic plot be the foundation for a highly energetic narrative represent we get excellent and at time highly comic dialogue ( with a high f word ratio ) and run gag and and lot of crazy situation and plot development that be as absurd a they be funny . the action or shooting scene be well choreograph with a fine eye for the detail and but it the main character and their dialogue and development around which the movie be develop rather than the action sequence . on top of this and we get a fractured time or place structure that already familiar from movie such a kubrick the killing or tarantino reservoir dog and but boondock saint take it to new extreme and thus it fun to watch . of course and the character be a bit shallow every now and then and one would love to learn more about their background and but that only a slight criticism . overall and and measure by it own intention and boondock saint be great entertainment . more and it doesn not need to be .
