The Boondock Saints


Fraternal twins Connor and Murphy MacMannus are on a mission from God to rid Boston of crime. However, instead of signing up for the police force, these hard-drinking Irish-American brothers take the law into their own hands a la Charles Bronson in DEATH WISH. Heralded as saints by the city's beleaguered residents, the brothers also attract the attention of Paul Smecker, the openly gay FBI special agent assigned to investigate the spate of killings amongst the ranks of the Russian mafia.

I want to see this movie any number of times, and I convinced that I never lose interest in this one. That is because this is the most interesting movie for me!
The main scene which MacMannus brothers appealed to the criminals and law in a court was very forceful, and I think a theme of this movie is similar to death penalty because the end of the movie showed the interview that killing offenders is good or bad. I think this is very difficult problem, and this movie made me think deeply about that. And because the brothers are not HERO, their mission was not carry out smoothly, so I think it makes mission scenes more real.
Without difficult points, it has also some funny scenes. Before accomplishing the mission, Connor and Murphy told jokes each other. Also, most of the scenes which their common friend, Rocco, appeared were very funny! But I think the scene that Smecker infiltrated enemy territory was the funniest one. I don't want to write the reason, so please watch this movie!
