Duffy indicates the screenplay was inspired by personal experience, while living in Los Angeles. The film experienced a limited theatrical release of only five theaters for one week,[2] and was met with poor critical reviews. Nevertheless, it proved divisive among viewers, developing both a large cult following,[3][4] as well as enmity from viewers and critics who have called it a film undeserving of cult status.[5] The film's cult following may have been partly due to the efforts of Blockbuster Video, which made the film a "Blockbuster Exclusive." The ending credit sequence, which features the media asking the people of Boston, "Are the 'saints' good or evil", was shot by Mark Brian Smith, co-director of Overnight, a documentary film about the making of The Boondock Saints, and Troy Duffy himself.

Plot
The film opens with a Boston church service, where twin brothers Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) pray very deeply while a sermon mentioning Kitty Genovese, a real-life crime victim brutally murdered while her neighbors watched without intervening. As the priest begins his homily, the brothers, despite astonished stares from the churchgoers and priests, approach the altar and kiss the feet of a crucifix. They depart as the priest reminds the congregation that they should fear not just evil but also the "indifference of good men." The brothers conclude that the priest finally understands, Connor stating, "I do believe the good Monsignor's finally got the point..." and Murphy replying, "Aye." This implies that the priest has finally realized the nature of good and evil as the Brothers McManus understand it. This understanding has nothing to do with the Brothers' approaching the altar, or kissing the feet or their Saviour.

The involvement of the mob in the killings summons FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) to the case, who surmises that the death of the mobsters was not a professional hit but self-defense. As the police begin a manhunt, Connor and Murphy arrive at the police station to clear their names. Throughout the meeting the brothers impress Smecker with their accomplished multilingualism (including Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, and German) while recalling the specifics of the barfight and subsequent self-defense the next morning. Smecker believes their story, but allows them to stay overnight in a holding cell to evade the press.

The brothers resolve to rid Boston of "evil men" with the help of their friend and former mob package boy Rocco. The brothers trade in the weapons and valuables stolen from the mobsters' bodies for their own, and utilize Connor's knowledge of Russian to locate a meeting between Russian syndicate bosses at a local hotel. Crashing into the room through the overhread ceiling air duct, the brothers draw their guns and fire, miraculously killing the eight underbosses. Forcing the leader to his knees, the brothers recite a short prayer and execute him, placing pennies over his closed eyes. Image File history File linksMetadata BoondockSaints. ...

After hunting down Vincenzo Lipazzi (Ron Jeremy), underboss of the Yakavetta crime family at a local strip club, the three vigilantes proceed on a series of increasingly violent missions, cleansing the city of vicious criminals and others who have avoided facing justice. Papa Joe (Carlo Rota), believing that the mob killings are an act of revenge from Rocco, contracts the infamous contract killer Il Duce (Billy Connolly), to deal with the vengeful package boy.

After a mission on a mob poker game, Il Duce ambushes the three and, in the resulting shootout, Rocco's finger is shot off. Smecker then finds the finger and takes it with him where he can test it by himself. He finds out that it belongs to Rocco, whom he remembers from earlier when Rocco showed up at the station to bring the brothers their things. He then begins to unravel the mystery surrounding the various murders. His belief that the brothers are good people begins to interfere with his professional desire to bring them to justice, and he goes on a drinking binge that night until the next morning where he seeks advice from a Catholic priest. He bemoans the futility of the courts to put evil men behind bars, and his uncertainty with the MacManus brothers' actions. Unknown to him, at that moment, the priest was under siege by Rocco, who followed Smecker inside the church, and one of the brothers, who was actually following Rocco to prevent him from going too far in his desire to get rid of evil. The priest, forced by Rocco to comply, tells Smecker to go with his instincts, and Smecker decides to help the brothers. The MacManus brothers and Rocco infiltrate the Yakavetta headquarters to finish off the family, but are captured by Papa Joe, who kills Rocco in an attempt to intimidate the brothers. As they say their family prayer over Rocco, Il Duce arrives and sneaks up behind them. And shepherds we shall be, For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. As he hears them recite the family prayer, and upon seeing that the man he was hired to kill (Rocco) is dead he lowers his weapons and joins them. It becomes apparent that Il Duce is their long-lost father, as the brothers had previously refused to teach Rocco the prayer because it is only passed down in their family. He then joins them in their mission to rid the city of evildoers. Three months later Papa Joe is sent to trial, and though there seems to be enough evidence to convict him, the reporters on scene anticipate his acquittal due to his Gotti-esque charisma. The trial is forcibly interrupted when the two brothers and Il Duce, aided by Agent Smecker and several police officers, infiltrate and lock down the courtroom. The three then publicly declare their mission to destroy evil and recite their prayer one last time, killing Papa Joe with several bullets (and a shotgun blast) to the back of the head. The media dubs the three "Saints", and the movie ends with various "man-on-the-street" interviews in which various Boston citizens reflect on the question "Are the Saints ultimately good, or evil?"

The McManus The meaning behind the tattoos on Murphy and Conner's hands refers back to roman mythology. In Roman mythology, Aequitas, also known as Aecetia, was the goddess of fair trade and honest merchants. Like Abundantia, she is depicted with a cornucopia, representing wealth from commerce. She is also shown holding a balance, representing equity and fairness. During the Roman Empire, Aequitas was sometimes worshipped as a quality or aspect of the emperor, under the name Aequitas Augusti. Aequitas is the source of the word equity, and also means "equality" or "justice". In Roman mythology, Veritas (meaning truth) was the goddess of truth, a daughter of Saturn and the mother of Virtue. It was believed that she hid in the bottom of a holy well because she was so elusive. Her image is shown as a young virgin dressed in white.[1] Veritas is also the name given to the Roman virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should have possessed. In Greek mythology, Veritas was known as Aletheia. Veritas is also the motto of the Dominican Order of the Roman Catholic Church and Providence College which is run by the Dominicans. It is also used in the phrase in vino veritas, meaning "In wine, truth".

Development Writer and director Troy Duffy wrote the screenplay for Boondock Saints, while living in Los Angeles, California, when he came home from his job to find a dead woman being wheeled out of a drug dealer's apartment across the hall. Duffy then rented a computer (he didn't own one himself) and wrote the screenplay about The Boondock Saints, based on his disgust at what he saw. Los Angeles and L.A. redirect here. ...

One day you're gonna watch the news and you're gonna say, 'Whoever did that despicable thing should pay with their life.[6] | ” | The film was directed by Duffy, who had moved to Hollywood to break into the music business. He was a bartender at a sports bar called J. Sloan's when he wrote The Boondock Saints.[4] The documentary Overnight, which chronicled Duffy's "rags-to-riches" story,[4] showed that the script was worth $300,000, and the film itself was originally given a $15 million budget by Miramax's Harvey Weinstein.[7] It was in Overnight that Duffy showed abrasive behavior, causing tension for many people involved in the project. The deal was set for Duffy to direct, with his band doing the soundtrack, and as a bonus, Miramax offered to buy and throw in co-ownership of J. Sloan's, where Duffy worked.[8] Susan Smith (born September 26, 1971 as Susan Leigh Vaughan), of Union, South Carolina, was convicted July 22, 1995, of murdering her two sons, 3-year-old Michael Daniel Smith, born October 10, 1991, and 14-month-old Alexander Tyler Smith, born August 5, 1993, and later sentenced to life...

The film's development was stalled due to Duffy and Miramax not being able to agree on casting, which caused Miramax to drop the project. Patrick Swayze, Stephen Dorff, and Robert De Niro all passed on roles in the film.[9] Duffy later found an indie studio "Franchise Pictures", to pick up his movie and let him cast it with whom he wanted. Having found someone to back the movie, filming began in Toronto, with the final scenes being filmed in Boston.[6] The film took a total of 32 days to film. [9] The name of Duffy's band The Brood, was renamed to The Boondock Saints following the movie's release.

Releases Theatrical release When Boondock Saints was completed it was given an extremely limited theatrical release, with its distributor showing the film on only five screens in the United States for one week. The original unrated version of the film was re-released in theaters on May 22, 2006.[11] Troy Duffy later funded screenings of the film with help from Blockbuster Video. "Blockbuster saved us [...] They agreed to take it on exclusively, and from there the rest is history."[11] According to Troy Duffy on his audio commentary of the film on DVD, the film's distributor allowed the limited screening only in the United States due to the then recent Columbine High School shooting.[12] The film was shown on major foreign screens (most notably in Japan) with success.[11] Blockbuster released The Boondock Saints as a "Blockbuster Exclusive", a collection of independent direct-to-video films. The Boondock Saints gained a following mostly due to word of mouth publicity and was a bestseller when released on DVD.

Although the movie contains a new audio commentary track by actor Billy Connolly, the track with Troy Duffy has been ported over from the previous DVD edition. Included on the second disc are a handful of deleted scenes and outtakes that have also been ported over from the previous release.[17] | ” | Reception The film has received poor reviews from critics, with the review-tallying web site rottentomatoes.com reporting that 12 out of the 15 reviews they tallied were negative for a score of 20% and a certification of "rotten".[18] It also received an overall Metascore of 44/100.[19] Nathan Rabin of the A.V. Club described the film in his review of the DVD as a "less proper action-thriller" and "a series of gratuitously violent setpieces strung together with only the sketchiest semblance of a plot". Rabin went on to describe the film as "all style and no substance, a film so gleeful in its endorsement of vigilante justice that it almost veers (or ascends) into self-parody."[20] Other reviews were more positive, with Robert Koehler of Variety describing the film in his review as, Rotten Tomatoes (http://www. ...

Koehler also praised the tech personnel, "This uneven exercise in pacing and cutting is abetted by an eclectic score by Jeff Danna and whiz lensing by Adam Kane.

Film critics have taken note of the film's extreme violence and "slow-motion bloodletting".[22] Even positive reviews took note of the fact that Duffy "borrowed from bigger blockbusters". Reviewer Vince Leo wrote, "The Boondock Saints is yet another recent entry in the Pulp Fiction clones, where huge doses of violence are mixed in with irreverently funny scenes of cleverness that entertain even if they are basically needless to the overall plot."[23]
Sequel In late March of 2002, Duffy posted a letter to fans of the first film, claiming that financial backing had been found for a sequel. It would reportedly have twice the budget of the original film, and "experience a theatrical release." According to the film's official website, the release date of the sequel The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day would be September 2005, though this never materialized. In an interview with IGN, Duffy explained the litigation with the company that controls the rights to the first film,[16] Duffy went on to express his, as well as most of the casts', interest in making the sequel.

It also announces that the film will have a theatrical release in the United States.
