The Boondock Saints is a really good movie. I think that Willem Dafoe was not up to his usual great self (see Platoon, The Last Temptation Of Christ, Shadow Of The Vampire, etc.). His acting was a little too over-the-top for my liking. However, everything else about this movie is great! The brothers were perfect, and the supporting cast played their parts well. The action was hypnotic, and the dialogue is some of the best for the genre. If not for Willem's excess, I might've given the film a 5.
