The highly anticipated sequel to the original
1999 movie, The Boondock Saints. It was released on
October 30,
2009 exclusively to only 67 theaters nationwide; however, expanded to additional theaters in November and again in December.
Due to the first movie practically becoming an instant cult classic, there was much hesitation from the fans who were both eager and skeptic to watch it. Yet, astoundingly enough, the writer and director, Troy Duffy, managed to produce a sequel that was equally as incredible as the first. (Though, the first will
always win due to the fact that it was the film that started it all, the second one exceeded just about everyones expectations).
Future viewers can anticipate the following from this film: references to every major scene and joke from the first film, appearances and cameos of ALL (yes, that is somewhat a spoiler) the same characters from the first (including the bartender with Tourette's syndrome and
Rocco's girlfriends cat!), do not fret over the addition of a seemingly
attractive FBI agent for there is still no underlying theme of a romance (which is yet another reason most people adored the original film), and the anticipation of a third film to be made!
Whoa, the
sequel to The Boondock Saints, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day,
far exceeded my expectations and I
now officially adore them both!
