Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

Actors:  Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Billy Connolly, Julie Benz, Clifton Collins, Jr.
Rating:  6 out of 10, I bought this on a whim because I had a gift certificate and it wasn’t as bad as I had heard.  It is still a very bad movie, especially when you compare it to the original, awesome Boondock Saints.  They try to revive the same formula in this sequel but it just doesn’t work.  They really miss having Rocco along for the intense comedy relief provided to the two Irish assassin brothers in the first movie.  Benz is certainly no Willem Dafoe (which I guess is a good thing) but she fills his part as an off kilter FBI agent helping out the boys.  The plot picks up eight years after the original with the boys peacefully living in Ireland until they’re called back to Boston to engage in some more carnage.  This movie is a complete mess but there were brief glimpses of the magic that made the first movie so memorable and that was enough.
MVP:  Flanery and Reedus as the still deadly Saints
