The Boondock Saints
I can see why its a cult classic. I liked it
It is a bit dated. I notice the pager, and the payphone. Though the film is only ten years old.
The brothers head to a bar. Where they celebrate St Patrick's day.
The Bar is full of 8 people when a fight breaks out, on St Patrick's day
This sets the brothers down the path. A bunch of Russian hoods, try to shut down their favourite bar. ( Its not a pub note)
From this incident our brothers turn vigilante
Ron Jeremy stars as a minor Mafiosi
Whilem Defoe plays agent Smecker. An asshole. Quite the antidote to Fox Mulder. Defoe is arrogant, barking orders to the Boston police department, and whilst listening to his portable CD player- I told you it looks dated.
There are some great scenes/ Rucco holding forth against his gfs. Defoe’s work. The film does sag, and the leads are not great
That said I am glad I saw it

You can date a film now because everyone is smoking. They smoke in their offices. They smoke in bars, and cafes. The brothers are supposed to be Boston Irish, but have faux Oirish accents.
Its a curious film- There are moments of brilliance. There are moments of madness. There are moments of boredom
The brothers are first seen praying, kissing the feet of a crucifix. They work as meat packers. The pick a fight with an angry wyman. Who protests at the term, rule of thumb
A fight breaks out over this

The kids are going to have been explained what that,
and a walkman are. Investigating a crime scene
Defoe’s Smecker is a little intense. There is a masterful scene where he narrates the Brothers attack on a mob stronghold. Defoe character is shown explaining events. Alongside them. For a moment, Defoe is mad, screaming and shouting at one point
The other character in the film is Rucco a small time mobster and friend of the brothers. Rucco, is betrayed by his bosses on an attempted hit, on some Russians. Given a six shooter, when there are 9 men in the room
The brothers go in via, an air duct. Like TV
There is a scene in a peepshow. Which is odd. Why don’t the bad guys just go to a brothel
The dancer looks like a bustier Pink
