Well sometime
you don’t need a story to entertain people. The Boondock Saints is one such
example. The movie starts with a premise where two God fearing Irish brothers
have epiphany that bad people needs to be eliminated and they start doing just
that, while there is a FBI agent is on their tail, and this is more or less the
whole story for you, but what distinguishes the movie is the style and
execution.
The movie keeps
you engaged through its humor and action sequences, the way of presentation
strongly resembles Guy Richie and Quentin Tarantino. The action sequences are
highly violent and contain a lot of bloodshed.
The movie was a
disaster when released; it generated just about 30 thousand dollars during its
theatrical release, however when the movie was released on video it generated
revenues in tune of about 50 million dollars, and developed a cult following as
well, it also has a squeal released about 10 years later.
The movie on the
whole is for specific audience, who don’t want to get into logic but prefer the
gun rolling and ever increasing body count.
It’s a mad entertainer for mad people.
Rating ***.
