the boondock saints are coming...?

I hate getting my hopes up for anything, but... this might be an exception. Especially with Duffy out, and the statements on Deadline from Reedus and Flanery. And Flanery sharing it all over his insta stories, so...

The Boondock Saints

[gorimbaudandgojohnnygo]

The Boondock Saints portrays its protagonists not as suave, near-mythic professionals like Jules and Vincent in Pulp Fiction, or even sheepish loners like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, but as just “cool guys” who make up a loophole through their faith that allows them to kill whoever they want on behalf of moral ambiguities. This kind of movie is crack to the average American teenager who fantasizes about exerting power but doesn’t want to look like the bad guy doing it, so he drags a fraudulent sense of moralizing into the fantasy. This half-baked approach to a thriller has ultimately made The Boondock Saints‘ legacy more tied to hollow iconography than to any sort of substantive cinematic influence. For all the “cult” status the film accumulated over adolescents in the early century, its lasting imprint is rendered in arguments on now-scrubbed film forum websites and the official release posters plastered on bedroom and dorm room walls that became signifiers of a generation of teenage boys. A portrait of two Irishmen in black clad holding big guns right above your bed was as badass as it could get once upon a time. But the depth of the average poster describes rightly the longevity this film had as any sort of cinematic marker in Hollywood. To quote Roger Ebert, “You know you’re in trouble when your movie scores 16 percent on the Tomatometer, and the documentary about it scores 79 percent.”

—Soham Gadre, from “The Boondock Saints: A Legacy as Thin as a Dorm Room Poster” (Paste Magazine, January 2025)
