Review: Boondock Saints
Penguin October 12th, 2007
Rating: 0.5/4 stars
I loaded it up last night and watched 27 minutes and couldn’t get drawn in.� I eventually finished it this morning and there were at least 3 separate times where I just wanted to stop watching, but I pushed through it anyway.
The plot, if you could call it that, is about two kids who see it as their mission from God to kill mob guys.� William Dafoe is tracking the murders.� The way the action set pieces play out is like this.� Dafoe gets on the scene, sees the evidence and says what he thinks happened.� Then they show the action.� Too bad the action doesn’t generate any tension.
And that’s the problem with the movie.� There’s no real tension or conflict.� Worst of all, the movie is boring.
