The Boondock Saints (DVD, 2001)

Fraternal twins Conner (Flanery - SUICIDE KINGS) and Murphey (Reedus - GOSSIP) 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 (Dafoe - EXISTENZ) the openly gay FBI special agent assigned to investigate the spate of killings amongst the ranks of the Russian mafia. First-time director Duffy pulls out all the breaks in this inventive action-packed thriller sure to please fans of HARD BOILED and RESERVOIR DOGS.
