Kitty Genovese was a New York City woman who was murdered in the early morning on March 13, 1964 by Winston Moseley. The crime became vox populi since according to the New York Times article: Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didnt Call The Police. There probably were not thirty-eight, and even though some details remain unclear, what happened is still today understood as a shameful proof broken arrow chamber of commerce apathy. It is precisely this apathy that serves Troy Duffy as a starting point for his debut as a writer and director, and his only work to date.

In current day Boston both Italian and Russian mafias do and cbs survivor at ease. Irish brothers Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) McMannus decide that someone has to do something about it. Feeling that God has, not notting hill soundtrack given them the right, but asked them, to do it, they start their own divine cleaning. Meanwhile, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) investigates the crime scenes novasis the McMannus brothers leave after them.

Even though the starting point promises a clever look into justice and truth, this never really happens. The movie gets away from the deepness of the issue and turns into an action feature filled with violence and blood. Nevertheless, the movie succeeds as a such because of the simplicity of the script and the appeal of the characters Christmas with the Kranks those lovers of the genre. Those who like the movie will forgive its weakest points, while those who dislike it will probably forget everything before sunset.

Willem Defoes portrait of an FBI agent who is gay and both secretly admires and publicly chases the Saints, is probably the most remarkable thing of the movie. The rest of the cast is mediocre, which does not mean they are bad. Something that keeps bothering me is the caricaturization of gunmen in this kind of movies, that pretend to be somehow serious, far from what one might expect them to be. The Russian and Italian gangsters the McMannus brothers face off, are simply ridiculous. Now, I understand you do not need a degree to fight law and order, but between black and white there is a whole range of grays.

the boondock saints supposed an at least promising debut for writer and director Troy Duffy, who also used to lead a band he named after the movie when it was first released. Unfortunately, let me doubt that, he has not tried again even though rumor has it that he has been working on the sequel. Biased reasons to that might be found in the documentary about the rise and fall of Troy Duffy overnight (2003), which was directed by his former friends Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith.

For the deadhours of those who do not go to church on Sunday morning.
