B = Boondock Saints

Boondock Saints
1999
Directed by Troy Duffy

Willem Dafoe as Paul Smecker FBI Agent
Sean Patrick Flanery as Connor MacManus
Norman Reedus as Murphy McManus
Billy Connolly as Noah MacManus
David Della Rocco as David Della Rocco

Fraternal twins come up against it after immigrating to the US and finding themselves in the muck of the city. Just being ‘good’ they find they have a knack and luck at vigilantism which is also profitable.

Troy Duffy keeps the moments moving along at a quick pace. If you’re slow, you’ll miss half the hilarious dialogue. The shoot scenes are played in regular motion and slow motion with an investigative feel that allows for extreme violence with pseudo-scientific analysis.

Lots of violence, even more language, Boondock Saints isn’t for everyone but it is a great action film regardless of how you shoot it.

Anything with Willem Dafoe is bound to be good.

I still haven't seen it. But I love that it co-stars Norman Reedus.
