The Boondock Saints: Deusdaecon Reviews

[@elandthirkhaoth4718]

I get the feeling that you didn't like the movie too much, or underestimate peoples ability to put things together themselves. I remember watching the film when I was 15 or so, and understood it just fine when the action scenes are shown/explained. Sure, I agree it's probably a long wait for it, but the build up isn't the worst part to it.

[@fulsame1]

Multiple murders would be all in one instance, like double homicide triple homicide. The strangler was a serial killer, murdering many people in separate instances.

[@Blisterdude123]

I love Willem Defoe's insane parts in this film.

[@antoniozuquete5068]

I fucking hate it

[@birdbones7869]

this could all be in my head but i think the out of sync story telling is to show Smecker's gradual agreement with the Brothers. the action scenes slowly merge together with the crime scene investigation until Smecker is there in the pool room, and then finally he IS there in drag. just my take.

[@birdbones7869]

and then ultimately at the end he is actually helping them with the other cops.

[@falloutghoul1]

"There was a firefight!"

[@TheChugg11]

I've met a gay bloke with a similar attitude to Dafoe's character- he just had an odd sense of humour.

[@kiiltochii1607]

one of the best scenes in the movie

[@urdoolil5477]

It's actually offensive that you find that gay scene offensive.... Lol not really but they're showing that not all gay people fall into the feminine sterotype. It's saying yeah he's gay but he's still a "tough" guy. If anything it's a good thing you just took it the wrong way.

[@themanfromthesouth1861]

flying ass first into victory. I love it

[@SimoExMachina2]

The director wrote the role of Rocco so the real life David Della Rocco could play himself. That is why the character has the same name.

[@Renkinjutsushi]

Why do you think the church scene takes place after the first kill?

[@joshuapeterson8575]

“Flying ass-first into victory” Made me laugh out loud.

[@urdoolil5477]

Flawed yes.... But sweaty willem Defoe fires a gun in the middle of the street while screaming for no reason.

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

The church scene isn’t a flash-forward

[@loki_l_1380]

Have you seen John Wick? If so what is your opinion on it? I think it's really badass.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Yes, I've seen john Wick I love it one of the best action films made in a long god damn time, Can't wait for the second film.

[@loki_l_1380]

Same.

[@ivantrajkovski5055]

hey deusdeacon can you tell me the name of the song that played on the intro I tried finding it but all I get was that Christina perri song that I honestly hate

[@deusdeaconReviews]

The song is Die! she said - This is War kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIi9d42ghbh3Z6c

[@LegendOfZeldafan666]

And the songs in others is die she said !- lopk at me.

[@FnRenner]

They know the arms dealer for reasons. You see his flag lol

[@locastmincer]

I fucking love this franchise, I even bought an overcoat just like the Saints wear. Thank you Ebay:)

[@rileyblack-ow4ll]

i love these movies aswell as the brothers how they are with etch other and the people round them there not some edgy emos or stupid morons there just two manchildren who just so happen to be badasses

[@smoffitt4289]

I liked the first, not the second. The father is kind of introduced in a deleted scene. They call their mum, she mentions their dad was a former police man and resolves who was born first

[@zippoboyshaneshank8954]

I've always felt like Smecker's comment to his lover, was to indicate that Smecker was the dominant "top" in the relationship. He is annoyed when his partner wants to cuddle, while he is trying to handle a serious matter on the phone. When Smacked calls him a f** , he isn't saying it to denote homosexuality, but rather to mock his partner's overly gooey display of affection, at an inappropriate time. Being gay himself, Smecker is allowed to use this derogatory term, without it carrying the same connotation as a straight man using it. It's also very unexpected, given the circumstances, so it's used for a cheap laugh. I'm not sure if this makes it okay, but I didn't really find it offensive either... After all, Dafoe is gay himself, and he had no objection to delivering the line.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Dafoe is gay ? I think his wife Giada Colagrande would disagree with you on that one.

[@galogiha]

you just glossed over the fact the russian boss is called the fat guy, but was played by a thin guy with a pillow for a belly.

[@Bruceykeys]

Thanks for this review , I probably wouldn't have seen this movie if not for you

[@doubledamn2599]

The most 'comic book' non comic book movie I've seen.

[@BestCupid]

Oh damn the video is finally not blocked out anymore. Hell yea . Hopefully you're not dealing with too many copyright bullshit

[@deusdeaconReviews]

this video is still copyright claimed, you can see it but i dont get any money from it.

[@micahsapienza1045]

I guess the real question is whether or not dafoue was so eager to get in the dress haha

[@stevepalpatine2828]

That wasnt the Boston Strangler that was the Zodiac Killer.

[@deusdeaconReviews]

if you know who the zodiac is you should contact law enforcment.

[@frost_bite42]

Finally this has been unblocked for the US

[@deusdeaconReviews]

well thats news to me, enjoy I guess, or not as the case maybe as this seems to be a hate watch for certain sections of the internet.

[@slowmotion171]

the boston strangler joker though.... spot on

[@jakebooo1]

I watched this drunk and the bost9n strangled part had me laughing then immediately fearing for my life

[@munstrumridcully]

" _Boon. Dock. Saints._ " A million thumbs up to anyone who gets what I'm referrencing from this tiny, short quote :)

[@vestyxe]

munstrumridcully Hellsing abridged?

[@lorddranos1]

its almost like you watch that movie religiously. get it?

[@quinnzykir]

Where’s uncle Ruckus?

[@chesterstevens8870]

The story at the beginning, about thr young woman who was killed in an alleyway while everyone watched on, is a direct rip off from Alan Moore's "Watchmen". In that She was the woman who ordered the dress made from the special textile that would eventually becomes Rorschach's mask, and after hearing about her rape/murder He decides to take the cloth and use it to form his vigilante alter ego. Even the name 'Kitty Genovese' is a direct lift, as are the themes of moral absolutism and legitimizing vigilante justice explored throughout.

[@kevinthepilgrim]

Well, Kitty Genovese was an actual person. So, don’t tubing you can lift that part as is history.

[@rebeccalovitch8504]

I wasn’t a huge fan of this movie. I liked it but wasn’t “wowed” by it. But I can say that I never felt these guys were truly religious. I always thought it was a duel fantasy developed by their bazaar upbringing.

[@Kenny-oy3yo]

Ms. Devious Plan How do you know they were brought up in a bazaar?

[@Nekoszowa]

Normally I get mad when a cat dies in a movie like this, but that scene made ma laugh. It was so random.

[@SimoExMachina2]

It underlines the way these guys are just so inept, but incredibly lucky when it comes to offing mobsters.

[@thedarkangel120407]

in boston's history what about the boston masacer

[@quinnzykir]

Poor cat :(

[@LeoEnigma]

this is one of my favorite movies

[@clbaker8356]

The largest problem with this film is it's writer/director Troy Duffy.

[@eliotmccann2589]

I know it's mean, but I pissed myself laughing at 16:15

[@johnwicktherealoneiam]

I just love this movie! Second part was a let down though!

[@Batman-py8kf]

I adore this film.

[@brandoncostello7389]

Also you’re wrong that’s not Largest multiple murder in on area and largest murders The largest multiple murder was the Boston massacre

[@alanmike6883]

I love these movies.

[@jeffreyrussell4874]

I gotta disagree with you on the Smecker being gay thing. He's a self loathing gay man. It's a character flaw rather than a writer afraid to commit to a bit. He's a walking contradiction. A genius eccentric perfectionist who would have been raised in the 60s and 70s, which would easily explain his own discomfort in being gay. It's who he is but he hates it in a way. You have to look at it through very modern eyes to see it how you're portraying it. But hey i forgive you 😌 your welcome lol. Please come back!!

[@quinnzykir]

Mmmmmm lady fingers

[@hummens44]

Such a terrible film.

[@LORDVOLCOS]

Was enjoying the review, but then you decided to get Political

[@deusdeaconReviews]

Not the first time won't be the last.

[@Rikrobat]

I watched this movie last night. I liked it all right, but there were two things that I didn’t care for. 1) Deus mentions that he likes that religion isn’t shoved down the throat of the viewer, but I’d argue that religion didn’t play enough of a role in the film. The movie sets up that the brothers are on a mission from God, and they take steps to protect a priest, but there isn’t really that much discussion on how they are killing others, even if it is in the name of God. Them beings “saints” felt like set dressing rather than integral elements of their characters. 2) Rocco. I did not like this character at all. This ties into my other issue in that Rocco is definitely not a saint. He tries to molest an unconscious woman; he threatened to murder two other women out of anger; he never really shows remorse for helping a hitman kill a family; he threatens a priest to “protect their identities.” He certainly touches more on the “how far do you go to ‘do justice’ without being caught?” but the movie doesn’t put much discussion on their difference between Rocco’s actions and the “saintly, mission-for-God” brothers. So, when Rocco gets killed, I wasn’t sad or moved. I was between neutral and glad he was gone. I guess the manga and anime of Death Note deal with the moral grey area of vigilantism far better, so Rocco was a frustrating character who was, to me, not a good person, yet he keeps getting a pass because he’s besties with the titular characters.
