THE BOONDOCK SAINTS [1999]

Writer/director Troy Duffy channels his inner Tarantino in the cult classic action flick The Boondock Saints.  While the film may never give the viewer much to think about, rapidly fires flat dialogue at us or even solidify it's characters enough to care about them, the rest of it is pretty damned over-the-top fun, particularly Willem Dafoe's performance.  It attempts to convince us it has some sort of higher purpose but in the end it just seems like it's more interested in setting up some really cool execution scenes.
