\"\"\/Today we watched “The Boondock Saints<\/a>” on DVD. It is a very nice movie with a fast pace, good acting and an excellent soundtrack. Actually, everything was pretty good except for the Russians, which is my rather usual complain. :)<\/p>\n

Interesting was the fact how the movie started and ended. In short you can call it a journey from nowhere to nowhere. There was almost no explanation where from these couple of superguys came about. There was no happy ending or any ending at all for that matter. New characters were introduced few minutes before you actually got bored with the existing ones. There was a handfull of humour too. Especially where the film touched mostly the “dirty” parts like dead bodies and staff.<\/p>\n

And, although I am not a great fan of Willem Dafoe<\/a>, his acting was excellent in this film.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
