-I have watched that movie twice now, and I want to like it, but it just doesn't do it for me. Yeah, it has "hip" camera shots, and willam defoe, but overall it just didn't work. It is just plain. Sort of like Kiss of the Dragon, or whatever Nic Cage movie that is where he is a toughy, its just nothing special. Maybe the sequel will be a prequel that will explain the first one.
To me, the main characters and plot are confusing and are barely defined, at best. Willam Defoe's character is just a hokey spin on the "know-it-all, big city, fbi detective" role.
I just don't see why this movie is talked about so much. There are so many other better movies that it stole from.
: I was looking up Boondock Saints on IMDB.com and found out that Boondock Saints 2 - Second Coming is in pre-production. I would have put a link to the page but it doesn't tell you anything other than the cast. I'm happy to say that both the original McManus brothers are to return, I'm not sure about Willam Dafoe.. But it's got the same writers and director returning to work on it.. I wish I hadn't found out about it.. I'm so fuckin' giddy.. BS is like.. My FAVORITE movie!
