movie review - Boondock Saints

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.09.12

This is a bizarre little flick about two brothers who take it upon themselves to annihilate the local mafia organisation. They - along with a laughable sidekick who defects from the mob - procede to destory an entire criminal world.

It's beautifully - if somewhat confusingly - shot, and worth a watch. I was reminded of Natural Born Killers and Lock Stock and Two-Smoking Barrels.

Recommended.
