Comments: The Boondock Saints is one of those quintessential college flicks for me. I say that because when I was in college, specifically the dorms, every guy - despite whether or not they were movie fans - had seen The Boondock Saints. Those that had any semblance of a DVD collection had this bad boy, and lines were quoted from it all the time (two of my roommates even went as the Saints for Halloween one year). I can see why guys love the film (even with the very gay Willem Dafoe scenes); it's entertaining as hell and full of violence. After watching the film for the first time in several years, it's not nearly as good as I remembered (or as it's rated on the IMDb), but it sure is still entertaining as shit. And it took Troy Duffy ten years to release a sequel, so I think it's only proper to continue on...
