Product Description
From Troy Duffy, writer and director of
The Boondock Saints, comes
the much anticipated sequel to the tough, stylized cutting edge saga of
the MacManus brothers (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery). The two
have been in deep hiding with their father, Il Duce (Billy Connolly), in
the quiet valleys of Ireland, far removed from their former vigilante
lives. When word comes that a beloved priest has been killed by sinister
forces from deep within the mob, the brothers return to Boston to mount
a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those responsible.
With a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins Jr.,
Star Trek) and a
sexy FBI operative (Julie Benz, TV's
Dexter) hot on their
trail…the Saints are back!
Customer Reviews
"That was one of the greatest examples of
spiritual guidance I've ever witnessed"
This movie has been getting a lot of backlash from the fans of the
first movie. People are saying that "It wasn't like the first one" or
"It's ten years too late". I'm a fan of the first movie and I enjoyed
this one immensely. Of course it isn't like the first one, but 10 years
too late? Not to me. Duffy gave himself a decade to make a followup to
the cult phenomenon and, well, 10 years later, he gave is possibly the
greatest sequel to the first movie one could ask for.
Returning to the roles of the insanely badass McManus brothers are
Sean Flanery and Norman Reedus, and boy, do they do great here. Also, in
place of the lovable Paul Smecker is Julie Benz as Eunice Bloom, a
sexy, funny, and smart FBI agent, who, in her words, is "so f--kin'
smart, she makes other smart people feel like they're retarded" (she
stays true to her word!). And also, Billy Connolly as the daddy, Il
Duce. But, in place of David Della Rocco is Clifton Collins Jr. as
Romeo, a HILARIOUS Mexican dude, whom, believe it or not, tops Rocco by a
thousand! And believe me, the cast here is SPECTACULAR! Not a single
disappointment.
It is 8 years later. The McManuses are living a quiet life on a farm
in Ireland, and the brothers (albeit with hilarious long hair and
beards). One night at dinner, a priest comes in and gives them the news:
They're in trouble. A Boston priest has just been killed, and the
killer had done all he can to make it look like the McManuses are
responsible. Upon hearing of this, it's time to shave the beards and cut
the hair, and jump on the boat back to Boston. On the boat, they meet
Romeo, a hilarious and quirky Mexican dude who is interested in joining
them. After a rough patch, he joins them, and the minute they are off
the boat, they are a team of three. Their goal is not only to get their
names cleared, but to get their revenge on the person who killed the
priest.
However, while that is happening, Paul Smecker is gone and has been
replaced by Eunice Bloom, a sexy, funny, and undoubtedly quirky FBI
agent. Upon her investigation at the crime scene, she comes to the
conclusion that the saints did not kill the priest. It was done by a
member of the Yakavetta family, who also wants revenge: On the saints,
for killing Pappa Joe. However, despite the cops' and Bloom's positions,
they decide that they are just as in it to investigate the murder as
The Saints, and worlds collide, with more chaos and action you can
handle!
I won't give away more, because this movie is simply a must see.
Basically, if you liked the first movie, you will like this one a great
deal. It has the original brothers, who give great performances, it has
tons of action, lots of blood, and is a great time at the cinema for
sure. The movie is well paced and well filmed. It is easier to tell that
it was shot on a higher budget than the original, which is a good
thing, you can see it in the cinematography, you can see it in the
effects and everything. In short, if you loved the first movie, go see
this movie for sure. Duffy has managed to top the first movie in every
way imaginable, which is a bold statement because the first movie was
awesome too. But be sure to see this! Oh, and the ending.
The ending is
AWESOME, with a cameo from someone you may know of!
