USAToday (Pop Candy) : The Boondock Saints -- "It was clever, funny, very well-written and -- spoiler alert..

" 2. The Boondock Saints -- had seen Overnight, the documentary about Troy Duffy, and he didn't come across too well, so I didn't have high hopes for the movie. Plus, it was mega-violent, and that doesn't always appeal to me. SLAP! It was clever, funny, very well-written and -- spoiler alert -- the Irish dudes win! What's not to like? Plus, Willem Dafoe is terrific as an eccentric FBI agent."

AintItCoolNews: COMICS REVIEWS X-FACTOR! BOONDOCK SAINTS! GREEN LANTERN! & MUCH MORE!!!

Boondock fans had to wait ten long years for a sequel to the cult favorite film. Luckily writer/creator Troy Duffy is not going to make fans wait that long again for the continuing adventures of the McManus brothers. While the movie brought us several years forward in the action, the new comic book series by 12 Gauge Comics brings us back within familiar territory.

The comic looks to add to the Boondock mythos by telling tales not told within both films’ fabric. The first issue is very similar to ... READ MORE

THESTALLIONONLINE: REVIEW -- A sequel there shall be with 'All Saints Day'

There's nothing like a good cult classic to get people together, and "Boondock Saints: All Saint's Day" is perfect if you're ready for a little gratuitous violence.

When a Catholic priest's cold-blooded murder is made to look like the work of the Saints, the two brothers come out of seclusion in Ireland to correct the wrongdoing. With the help of their father and a new Mexican ally who takes the place of Rocco, they continue their work of removing corrupt mobsters from the streets. Meanwhile, the same three Boston cops and a sharp, sultry Southern detective are hot on their tails... READ MORE

An Exclusive Interview with Actor Brian Mahoney

For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge “Boondock Saints” fan and I’m even a new member of the Boondock Bettie Brigade. So when I was asked if I was interested in doing an interview — my very first for It’s Just Movies, mind you — I was not expecting anyone nearly as cool as Brian Mahoney.

Mahoney played one of the extremely memorable and hilarious detectives in “The Boondock Saints” and “Boondock Saints: All Saint’s Day.” His character, Detective Duffy, is a personal favorite in my house because my mom grew up in Massachusetts and, according to her,... READ MORE

The Saints Return…With a Vengeance: An Interview with Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Their Fans

Ten years ago, director Troy Duffy went from just another LA bartender to Hollywood’s next big thing to sleeping one off on someone else’s floor. His script for The Boondock Saints was hot, attracting the backing of the Weinsteins with names like Ewan McGregor and Stephen Dorff up for parts. Then, depending on who you hear the story from (former friends, emphasis on the “former”, chronicle their take in the 2003 documentary Overnight), Duffy pissed a lot of people off and Columbine happened; nobody wanted anything to do with his stylized and glorified vigilante movie anymore. It was probably a bit of both. Still, Duffy kept at it, managing a practically-straight-to-video release from Franchise Pictures (excepting a brief five screen release rumored to be paid out of his own pocket).

Critics panned it across the board… READ MORE

TheTrades: DVD Review: The Boondock Saints II...

To coin a phrase, "The Boondock Saints" took the world by drizzle in 1999. The storm would come later. It was initially released to only a handful of theaters do to the Columbine shootings. It's a shame that such a fun film got locked away and killed (so to speak) due to some bizarre connection an overly cautious executive made between a violent movie and a violent real-life incident, even though violence was the only common denominator. Fortunately, the DVD caught on by word of mouth and has become a best-selling cult classic. That's how I discovered it, perusing the racks at my local video store for a fun film to watch on a boring-but-required overnight shift at a previous job. I had several hours of downtime and would bring movies to pass the time. I saw Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery on the cover, looking grim and cool. I recognized Flanery from "Suicide Kings," but I must admit I... READ MORE

FernbyFilms : Movie Review – The Boondock Saints

I remember the first time I saw it. You probably do to. That moment, when you watched The Boondock Saints and wondered how on Earth you’d missed it. It was probably recommended to you by a friend, somebody to whom a film such as this might appeal. Somebody with a slightly skewed cinematic radar, who appreciates all manner of film treats whether they be high art or complete trash. You probably only ever gave it a cursory glance at first, passing it off as a no-brand film that you’d never heard of, instead preferring to again watch The Matrix or Star Wars. But the hearty recommendation from your friend, plus the rather adult rating on the cover, indicated to you that it could, in fact, be a ton of bloody, violent fun... READ MORE

The Dirges’ Video for ‘The Saints are Coming’ Debuts

The “Boondock Saints” franchise has seen a lot of action over the past few months, beginning with the release of “Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day,” the highly-anticipated follow up to the 1999 original.

In early 2010, cast and crew embarked on a multi-city tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original film. Director Troy Duffy and stars from the movie, along with the bands responsible for creating the movie’s unique soundtrack, hit the road in January to party with fans all across the country.

On Jan. 27, the tour made a stop at Busby’s East in Los Angeles where The Dirges, a self-described folk/punk band, shot a music video for their song “The Saints are Coming,” which is featured in the film and on the recently-released soundtrack. In addition to a meet and greet with the stars and music from the movie, die-hard fans who made it to the party had the special honor of being used in the filming of the music video — which was directed by Duffy himself...

Washburn Review: Boondock Saints 2—cult classic

In 1999, “The Boondock Saints” was released in Germany, Greece, Denmark and Finland. January 21, 2000, it hit the United States in a limited release. Ten years after the release, and after a cult following demanded a sequel, “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” premiered in the United States.

The release hit only 67 theaters nationwide. However, after a March 9, 2010 release on single disc DVD and Blu-Ray, allowing those who couldn’t see the film in theaters or on bootleg Web sites to get their first glimpse.

The sequel takes place eight years after fraternal twins Conner and Murphy MacManus (played by Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) and their father massacred mob boss Yakaveta. The trio are living in exile on a sheep farm in Ireland when they get word that someone has framed them for the murder of a Catholic priest back in Boston. The twins, who set out in the... READ MORE

NoticeEverything: Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

Tonight I watched the very belated sequel of the cult classic "Boondock Saints", known as "Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day".

I adored the original movie, not because of the violence or "cool" factor necessarily, but more for the idea behind it (and the two hot friggin' guys). Everyone aged a decent amount for the sequel (shit, Sean Patrick Flannery's face looks plain swollen for some reason), but I loved that they put all the original cast members in the roles that everyone originally loved them for. Although Willem Dafoe was... READ MORE

ItsJustMovies: An Exclusive Interview with Norman Reedus

– by SEAN GERSKI –

Back in 1999, when “Boondock Saints” came and went (after appearing in a handful of theaters), the odds of ever seeing a sequel to the movie were incalculably low. And, as time went by, the odds grew even longer.

But “Boondock Saints” is not your average movie — and “Boondock Saints” fans are far from your average fans. Director Troy Duffy had a vision to get a sequel made … and in 2009, that movie blazed its way inter theaters.

The two “Saints” — played by Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus — were completely on board with reprising the roles of Conner and Murphy McManus, even if it seemed (at times) like it might never happen.

Reedus said he never gave up faith in the sequel — but still was a bit shocked when they ... READ MORE

If you read Geeks of Doom, you know I’ve been one of the biggest supporters of a sequel to 1999’s The Boondock Saints for as long as one has been rumored, which is about eleven years now. And from the moment Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day became official, any time anything was released about the movie, I was jumping on it. Various different posts came of it all, including interviews with stars Clifton Collins Jr. and Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus.

Mike Gencarelli: How did you come up with the idea originally to make the film “The Boondock Saints”?

Troy Duffy: My brother and I were living in a real shit hole in California. The story came from a natural concern from crime. I think everyone that watches the news and sees something truly disgusting, a kid getting killed or home invasion where they kill the family. People get that gut reaction that whoever... READ MORE

OrganizedRemains - Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Review

Premise:
A Boston mob hires a hitman to kill a church-attending priest in a framejob similar to executions The Saints would perform. Knowing they've been sent a message, The Saints return to Boston from their discrete new lives for some blood thirsty payback.


Standouts:
What stands out the most in this movie is the frequent amount of comedy used. The first Boondock Saints was something of a dark comedy-action as well, but this sequel has a much higher laugh ratio. This film is almost as much a bro-mance comedy as it is a shoot-em-up action film.

Something else that stood out was the ending. The last scene of the film is memorable and exciting, ... READ MORE
