The entire production feels uneven, shoddy, and offensively oxymoronic.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 30, 2023

A macho bloodbath with a lot of juvenile humor and fake Catholic mysticism...

| Jul 14, 2022

An enthralling gangster epic, a solid action film, and a jolting vigilante-justice crime caper.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 10, 2020

The Boondock Saints, on one level, is a really great direct-to-video cult film. Stylish, defiantly endearing, and even borderline iconic.

| Apr 10, 2020

The Boondock Saints has ended up a cheap looking B-movie that's pretentious, derivative, and sorely lacking a sense of fun.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 25, 2019

Duffy created an unapologetically bloody, brutal and bizarre action film

| Oct 31, 2018

Willem Dafoe's portrayal of the conflicted homosexual FBI agent is overacted to such an extent that it is hilarious, amazing and entertaining. His is an unforgettable character.

| Original Score: B | Mar 7, 2013

Satire or self-parody would be vastly preferable to the film's unironic endorsement of outlaw justice, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything resembling irony or subversiveness in this exercise in lovingly rendered ultra-violence.

| Jul 26, 2011

Duffy's models are clearly snarky, ultraviolent Tarantino-esque crime pictures, but this movie's cleverness is never quite on a par with its bloodlust.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 26, 2011

An embarrassing waste of time, and nothing even resembling the guiltiest of guilty pleasures...

| Aug 17, 2010

[A] dim-witted, aesthetically clunky Tarantino clone.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 23, 2009

It's one thing to make a film that's violent and profane; it's another to make one that's a moral black hole, and to do it because black looks cool. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 15, 2009

More interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs, pic is stuffed with effects that have no lasting impact.

| May 9, 2008

Train wreck!

Full Review | Original Score: 0/5 | Oct 13, 2007

While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 10, 2006

If you can't sit back and enjoy an entertaining popcorn flick like The Boondock Saints, then you'll probably never understand the difference between the movies and real life.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 27, 2006

It taps into everyone's secret desire for vigilantism.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 25, 2006

Definitely an exercise in style over substance.
