FUck The Boondock Saints!

For all those people who buy into the idea that 'The Boondock Saints' is the little film that could, let me just say: IT IS FUCKING SHITE!
 It's not so much a film as a never-ending parade of mix n match lads mag 'comic' sketches and situations. There is literally no character development, every single part in the film is an overblown stereotype, from the Saints themselves(Sean Patrick Flannery & Norman Reedus); two apparently genius-level wiseacre brothers who work in a meatpackers; Willem DaFoe's 'Fag' hating, yet gay FBI agent; Billy Connolly's Stone Killer turned curmudgeonly father figure and Devendra Banheart as the world's least funny Mafioso comic mascot(maybe he just looks like DB, though.).
 In between we get Ron Jeremy's method acting as a sleazy Italian mobster who gets shot while having a wank, plus no end of glorified extras with terrible Eurotrash accents, the appearance of confusion personified and all the acting sensibility of an Oliver Reed chat show appearance from the 1980's.
 Troy Duffy lost his standing as 1997's new darling of Tinseltown because he is an arrogant, moronic pseudo-Oirish twat. I personally would love to see a genuine version of the popular legend, where Harvey Weinstein is humbled by the efforts of a talented writer/director, a genuine talent who succeeds despite a petty Miramax vendetta against them. Just watch 'Overnight'(2003) and you'll see that Duffy deserved to get dropped through his own hubris, ego tripping and frankly disgusting treatment of his friends, family and everyone around him. If you really must watch 'The Boondock Saints', I beg of you to do so as part of a double bill with the documentary, as I think that is the only way a viewing of 'TBS' could possibly be worthwhile: as a study in the depths of humiliation and toe-curling self-delusion that sudden, and very close to unearned, recognition can give to people.
  Of course, there is the possibility that documentary was heavily edited to give the wrong impression, so if you're still not convinced, simply read any interview Troy Duffy has given & you'll see what I mean. Remember: 'THE BOONDOCK SAINTS' IS SHITE!(and the sequel and comics somehow manage to be even worse)
