The Boondock Saints takes place in the seedy underworld of Boston during the late 1990s. Connor and Murphy McManus, (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus respectively) two Irish brothers working in a meat packing plant, act on what they believe to be a message from God and will stop at nothing to reach their goal to rid the world of violence. The three begin their crusade by eliminating the Russian mobsters who attempt to close down their local watering hole. They then work their way on up through the ranks of the Italian mafia. Although society views them as Saints whose actions should be heralded, in comes detective Smecker (Willem Dafoe) who vows to stop at nothing to bring their vigilantism to a halt. The ma

Their first job as God’s Gangsters is to take out the Russian head boss and his sub bosses. They are crawling threw a shaft, James Bond style, when they get into a fight. They fall threw the roof and are hanging by rope. They draw guns and open fire. It was a massacre. They kill all nine targets. They are fulfilling there vocations. After finishing off the Russian mob, the move onto the Italian mob. They start by killing up the ranks. When they get to the head boss, Papa Joe, he calls in El Duke. This is the greatest assassin known to the mafia. To bad he has been rotting in jail for the last 25 years. But he is still up to the job. The head boss for the Italian mob, catches the saints as they try to get in threw the basement. But the saints get out by breaking each others hands to slip out of the cuffs. As the saints are about to leave, they are saying a prayer for Rocco, who was just killed by the head boss. El Duke comes in behind them, after killing everybody in the house. (The head boss escapes before El Duke comes to the house). The prayer is: “And Shepards We Shall Be, For Thee My Lord For Thee. Power Hath Descended Forth From Thy Hand, That Our Feet May Swiftly Carry Out Thy Command. So We Shall Flow A River Fort To Thee, And Teeming With Souls Shall It Ever Be. In Numine Dei Patris. It Filii...Spiritus Sancti”. Half way threw the prayer, El Duke comes into the room and…(don’t want to ruin the movie for ya Doc.)

The brothers stay the night in the prison. During the night, there is a thunder storm. Lighting flashes across the screen. Water drips down from the ceiling and onto the brothers chests. A voice comes over in the background: “This poor soul cried out for help. They watched as he simply walked away. Indifference of good men! Nobody wanted to get involved. Nobody [echoing]. ’Whoever shed my blood, by man his blood be shed. For in the image of God may deem a man.’” The brothers bolt up doing the part about shedding blood. Connor says: “ Destroy all that which is evil.” Murphy says: “So that which is good may flourish.” At this point in the movie, the saints receive the vocation from God. They must not be indifferent men. They take the commandment of God into their own hands.

This is a film about morality, doing wha
