While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring.

It is, by turns, hilariously awful and just plain unhilariously awful, full of its own nonexistent momentousness, an unintentional parody of hardboiled gangster flicks.

Visualmente interessante, o filme se corrompe ao fazer apologia da “justiça com as próprias mãos”. Ainda assim, a atuação de Dafoe merece ser conferida.
02/21/04
A ridiculous, self-important amalgamation of rehashed macho posturing and slow-motion bloodletting. Do yourself a favor: do not attend a convocation with these Saints.

Duffy has made a film that sort of straddles the fine line between great movie and useless piece of garbage.
