[A] dim-witted, aesthetically clunky Tarantino clone. Full Review |

1/4 |
It's one thing to make a film that's violent and profane; it's another to make one that's a moral black hole, and to do it because black looks cool. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

More interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs, pic is stuffed with effects that have no lasting impact. Full Review |

Train wreck!

 3.5/5 |
While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring. Full Review |

It taps into everyone's secret desire for vigilantism. Full Review |

Visualmente interessante, o filme se corrompe ao fazer apologia da “justiça com as próprias mãos”. Ainda assim, a atuação de Dafoe merece ser conferida.

Stylish and fun in a cheeseball sort of way. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
From this cast, you'd expect better, but it's mostly just a redundant Tarantino wanna-be.

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. Full Review |

70/100 |
Duffy has made a film that sort of straddles the fine line between great movie and useless piece of garbage. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
The Boondock Saints, sorry to say, wasn't worth the trouble. Full Review |
