Sometimes saints Must be sinners

Known best as a cult classic, "The Boondock Saints" is back and edgier than ever. Just when you think this well-written, witty, dark comedy could not get any better, a new unrated collector's edition is released.\n"Boondock" is the story of fraternal twins Connor (Sean Patrick Flannery) and Murphy McManus (Norman Reedus), religious Catholics who soon take on the identity as the "Boondock Saints." As a friend of theirs is being stiffed by the Russian Mafia, the twins immediately step in to help and end up killing the Russians. Soon thereafter, Connor and Murphy come to believe that they have been given a mission from God. Their mission: to rid the city of Boston of all mafia criminals. While doing so, the twins instantly become heroes, although their identity remains unknown to the public.\nHowever, there is one man who is on their trail to finding their identities, detective Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe). Although Detective Smecker is determined to find who is behind the crusades, he admits that what the boys are doing has secretly been something he has wished to happen. The Saints end up risking their lives to stand up for Veritas (truth) and Aequitas (equality).\nBoth Flannery and Reedus' performances are great. Although, at times it does become a little hard to understand them with their Irish accents. And the famed Willem Dafoe is both witty and funny as a homosexual detective trying to crack the case of the Boondock Saints. The movie is full of great crime scenes that will have you sitting at the edge of your seat in suspense, as well as a bit of comedy to go along with it. \nThe new release DVD comes with more features than the original. Along with commentaries from writer and director Troy Duffy as well as actor Billy Connolly, the DVD offers a variety of deleted scenes, funny outtakes and cast and crew filmographies. The most notable feature is a printable script, something I've never seen with a DVD. It's quite interesting for anyone who is unfamiliar with what an actual script looks like. \nThis movie is a true classic. I know that there was a second one in the making, however I think filming has either been delayed or cancelled, which is a shame. Not exactly a family movie, (the new edition is unrated), I would stick to showing this to kids in their teens and older. If you have yet to see it, I suggest you do so. You will be continuously entertained and not the least bit disappointed.
