Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Word "Terrible" Comes To Mind When Watching This Movie, But Then Again That's Just My Opinion, More or Less (More) Comment: Why all the talk about this movie? I watched this movie long after it became popular, barely got through it without trying to kill myself and desired to have all memory of it washed from my mind when it was over. The basic formula for this story: Stereotypical, hard-drinking Irish brothers + Russian mafia (what are they doing here?) + FBI trailing the work of vigilantes = Repetitive "plot" of this exceptionally boring movie. All these guys do is drink, play with guns and kill "evil" men they think God has appointed them to do so. Most of the action scenes are shown in flashback, after a charismatic detective played by the Greatest Actor in the World, Willem Dafoe, brilliantly relates to a dumb subordinate and apparently half-baked bunch of second string FBI agents, or something. Dafoe's character, who owns the best lines in the "film," knows the leprechaun assassins are responsible for all of this violence but must see something in them others don't; this might provoke a short discussion about vigilantism, but one that's been had before, and only by the most desperate of viewers trying to squeeze something out of this movie. Anyone else might proclaim the action scenes as "bad-ass" and the storyline altogether as "groundbreaking" but original this movie surely ain't. This is probably what happened: "Hey, let's make a movie about Irish vigilantes!" "Awesome! What happens?" "What do you mean? They're IRISH. And they're VIGILANTES. What else do you need to know?" "Um... okay, sounds good." The premise for the movie was one page long, the dialogue heavily-accented and improvised. Hell, anyone can write a movie. Turns out they made a sequel to this movie. "Hey, remember that movie about the Irish vigilantes?" "Yeah, that was great! Scathing reviews, totally awesome cult following though (primarily made of high school kids)." "Let's make another one!" "Okay. What about?" "Same thing." And who says they're running out of ideas for movies? Customer Rating: Summary: Great Choice Comment: Great deal on this DVD which is one of my favorites! Can't beat the deal for the price! Customer Rating: Summary: I keep buying it Comment: This is the fourth time I bought this movie. Friends and family keep making off with my copies. Defoe alone is worth the cost. His kiss takes it over the top. Hilarious and unforgetable. Customer Rating: Summary: Good movie. Comment: Item shipped fast & was received as described. Smooth transaction, would buy from you again. Brian Customer Rating: Summary: Should Have Been Titled "Sleeze-dock Saints" Comment: I usually like films that Willem Dafoe stars in. However, this one is a BIG exception. In retrospect, I should have looked closer at the names of the supporting actors. If I had, I would have seen Ron Jeremy's name.., that would have given me the perfect clue as to the sleeze bag, low rent quality of this movie (I felt like I needed to take a shower after watching this). Willem, if you happen to read this, please go back to performing roles like you did in "Clear & Present Danger" and "Platoon" versus pieces of low-rent junk like "Boondock Saints."
