They're on a mission from God.

In Boston, Irish twins Connor and Murphy MacManus are devout Catholics who attend Mass together. During the homily, the priest mentions the Kitty Genovese case, and the brothers listen closely. Later, they celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a group of friends at their bar. Then three Russian mobsters arrive, wanting to close the place down to tear it down and take the valuable land. Connor and Murphy try to negotiate with them to prevent this. The conversation gets nowhere, and tempers flare until the situation turns into a fight. Directed by Troy Duffy, the movie stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as the brothers.

Quotes by The Boondock Saints

  • [After proving the Boston detectives wrong] We'll start the ass-kissing with you.
  • Now, you Irish cops are perking up. That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally sized men. Kind of makes me feel like Riverdancing. [Begins dancing]
  • There was a fire-fight!
