If you are in the mood to be disappointed go watch this movie. The writer tried so hard to make this a comedy or just a stupid movie. Compared to the first one this movie is a disgrace for the director and creator. The characters are not supposed to act funny, their quirkiness and charisma was just a bonus of them being Cool vigilante gangsters in the first movie. This movie they added a stupid character who was supposed to replace the character Rocco in the first one, and boy did they fail. The corniness in cheesy lines from each character including the female detective and the others make you feel just awkward watching the movie. The first movie went down as a classic, a hidden gem for gangster movies that you brag about to friends who have not seen it. I Really hope they make a third that is similar to the first. This is supposed to be a gangster film not a wannabe comedy with killing people. Disgrace, disappointed in everyone who did not have the guts to tell the writer and director you are going in the wrong direction.

Or rather, I wish it never happened. I mean, the first one was brilliant... or at least "good". The Boondock Saints is witty, entertaining, clever, good fun, and while it has some stereotypes and tropes it doesn't appear to go out of it's way to be prejudiced drivel. This... is nothing like that movie. All Saints Day feels like two hyper-testosterone boys, desperate to be "REAL MEN", with no cinematic experience that didn't involve loony toons, got together and wrote a shitty fanfic based on the first movie, and someone read it and thought to themselves that this was a great way to try and build a franchise. The amount of "no homo" and slapstick in this pile of drivel is hideous. And the dream vision of how to be REAL MEN(tm) just takes the f-ing cake. Only saving grace in the whole movie is... well... there isn't one. If you enjoyed the Boondock Saints, walk away, this never happened.

In our house, we love both' Boondock Saints I & II--the characters, the story line, the actors. We are very disappointed that we have not seen more. We want to see the prison break--even now after a few years passing-- (and maybe the Da, Billy Connolly, hadn't really died? but was taken away by a priest?). We love them-so will others. Please bring them back!! Use the same actors, like Sean Patrick Flanery, for we love them. It would behoove you TROY DUFFY to make several more of these especially since the rediscovery of the wonderful Norman Reedus. And of course we all want to see Julie Benz again and again! Don't let production numbers or opening money counts stop you from making these movies, please. We know of many people who love the whole concept of these vigilantes, who are also saints. We are seeing many of these now with the comic book vigilante TV shows and movies. We get it! Now it is time to make a comeback, Troy Duffy. Give us what we've been waiting for!!

There are simply two reasons why I chose to view this film. 1) I heard that the original, and the sequel, profit off the same formula and obvious similarities of those well-loved crime movies, such as 'Pulp Fiction'. And 2) I wanted to see if Norman Reedus could actually act outside of his character in 'The Walking Dead'... which he can't.I can't vouch for the original (which I haven't seen yet, but intend to) but this film is just messy. I was on board for literally a few minutes on account of the melodramatic and comical introduction to the brothers, but quickly lost interest.The main downside is that this film tries to be funny throughout, but it clearly is not. In actual fact the 'funniest' character is that 'kinda' Mexican guy who chooses to help out the brothers. Other than that the characters, especially the detectives, are some of the most boring characters to ever hit the screen. Watch only if you are open- minded, that's the only way that you will have fun with this.
