I thought it was OK, but to honest I was disappointed. I had heard good things about this movie from several people, and my one friend just bought it so I went over there to watch it. I don't think they did enough with the plot development here. The movie was a little thin. OK they are killing people, but they are only killing bad people. But WHY? I dont think they go far enough in answering that. They kill these guys in self defense and then from that just turn into walking vigilantes? I don't buy it. I thought the action scenes were pretty good, and I liked how they presented what actually happened after DeFoe walked the crime scene. And him being gay added a lot to the humor relief of the movie. It did pose and interesting moral question, but I felt that the script could have better explored the philosophical issues it brought up, as upposed to just having lots of gun fights. Overall I give it a 6 out of 10, slightly above average.
*Spoiler again

I think the reason behind killing all those mobsters was enough. They were trying to make the world a better place. Remember that scene where the saints were sleeping in the jail? At that moment, they got a message from God(or atleast, thats what it looked like to me).

One more thing, everybody. Just yesterday, i checked out the Boondock Saints site and i saw that they are making a SEQUEL!!! Maybe itīll say something more about why they killed the maffia, AzRael [img]smile.gif[/img]
