I am a fan of revenge/vigilante films and I've have heard about this movie all my life since it first came out when I was in the 6th grade. I saw half of it during my senior year in high school and I never saw it again. Three years later, I watched the whole thing and I enjoyed it. I thought both Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus' performances as the vigilante brothers Connor and Murphy McManus were both funny and brilliant. David Della Rocco was also good. And let me not forget about both Willem Dafoe, as FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker, and Billy Connolly, as “ll Duce”, was terrific in their performances. One of the minor characters: Doc, played by Irish actor Gerard Parks, I thought he was hilarious. I think the best scene for me would have to be when the Saints say a speech that they intend to eradicate evil wherever they find it, recite their prayer and kill the mob boss Papa Joe Yakavetta. Troy Duffy directed a very brilliant action/crime/thriller with a twist of comedy and it should be watched to every movie lover everywhere.
