BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY
2 out of 5 stars


“ding dong, muthafucker! ding dong!” - romeo

the boondock saints are back! (and with a vengeance!)

if you haven’t seen the first one, SEE IT NOW. this one falls tremendously short of the first, but it’s good to see connor and murphy mcmanus (sean patrick flanery and norman reedus) kicking some italian ass in order to avenge their priest friend’s murder in south boston. billy connolly also reprises his role as noah “il duce” macmanus, as well as the doc AKA “fuck ass” and a special cameo by someone you’ll recognize from the first film. new characters include special agent eunice bloom (it’s rita from dexter!) with a southern accent, and peter fonda as noah’s arch nemesis AKA “the old man”... so basically, the plot obviously centers on the boys living in rural ireland as sheep farmers, but when news of their beloved priest in south boston gets to their ears, they decide to avenge his death by punishing those involved including members of the italian mob. there’s even a random mexican guy named romeo who joins the macmanus boys, and he serves well as comic relief... :P

let’s put this simply: THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. too much of a straight to DVD feel... why theyy AKA hollywood decided to do a sequel is beyond me. the first one was actually well done! plus, why is sean patrick flanery so old looking now? (almost to the point where you have to second guess yourself!) plus, if you were ever wondering what judd nelson was up to these days... this is your answer: starring in movies like these. :/
