I don't even know when All Saints Day is.

Just FYI, if you go to see a sequel, make sure you see the first one. I felt like the odd man out tonight. You ever gone out with a group of people that you have met recently, but they are all really close? And then they start talking about inside jokes and you just kind of smile cause you have no idea what is going on? It is kind of like that.

Or if you are standing around a bunch of friends and they are talking in a foreign language and erupt in laughter from time to time. You know what they said was funny, but you don't speak the damn language so you really have no idea. Yep. That was me tonight.

However, On with the review.

Boondock Saints 2 is about the return of two vigilante Irish brothers who are enticed to come back to the states after a priest is killed in their famous style. It is a unique story line that tries to take up where the other possibly left off. The plot also could have come out of left field, I don't know, but I kind of bought into the story line. It wasn't that bad.

The way the movie was made was bad. (Lots of "the"s and "was"s in that sentence. I really don't give a damn) It seemed sloppy. There are random flashbacks and unnecessary scenes throughout the movie that made me raise an eyebrow from time to time.

The acting really was pretty good. They overplayed the role of the Mexican guy. He is the comic relief that the camera loves when you would rather focus on something else going on in the flick. Remember Jar Jar in Star Wars, yeah, that kind of annoying.

The dialog steals the show. It is written in a Tarantino like fashion. Natural dialog, and I loved it. This movie did remind me a lot of Pulp Fiction in a way that it is a serious flick, with some funny ass dialog. Unfortunately, this was my first experience with this flick, so I took it seriously, esp. since I didn't understand many of the inside jokes. If I were to watch it again, I would definitely find it more humorous.

Also, I got a crush on the chick in this movie. She is smoking hot in here business outfits. Call her Mike Tyson cause I thought she was a knockout. I think I liked her attitude the most. Yup, definitely the attitude.

So meanwhile, back at the ranch, I have to rate this movie. I have to admit I was entertained. There was some stuff that I thought they did really badly, but overall, I have to give this flick a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5).

Should have went to see 2012. Ohh well, life goes on.

Birddogger out.
