Ty Burr

The result isn’t art but it is an improvement: a scurrilous, lowdown, sub-Tarantino action comedy that, unlike the original, doesn’t make you want to claw your eyes out. How’s that for praise? Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The only truly ugly side to this self-consciously grimy movie is the streak of Neanderthal humor. Operatic overacting is funny. Racist and homophobic jokes? Not so much. Read full review

Kyle Smith

You wouldn't call The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day a taut thriller. More like a fleshy, messy, jangled frenzy of shootouts and much discussion about the mechanics of romantic entanglements that bloom between prison inmates. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Feels larger in scope yet sorely lacking in originality. Read full review

Adam Markovitz

Earns points only for being remarkably unself-conscious about its across-the-board ineptitude. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Just the same auld same auld. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Isn't for everyone, obviously; it might not be for anyone, come to think of it. Read full review

I love the first movie and the sequel does it justice then some, the only thing i would've changed was the actress portraying the F.B.I. agent that replaces agent Smecker. Other than her annoying accent this is everything Saint fans could have hoped for

Just rewatched both movies and love this one. Great movie. If you loved the first movie you'll love this one too!

As a fan of the first film. Boondock Saints 2 is a will-love for all Boondock fans. Overall, the film starts off slow, but come to a climax and says there. What makes it better is the surprise at the end.

Great flick. Ignore Will O's racist tyrade. Good action, pacing, direction, everything.

much inferior to the original. Many styles but no substance and it was repetitious as heck with the flashback within action. Good looking movie can't help the stupid story. The end was exciting but could have come a lot sooner.

If you're going to see this to keep the weirdo friends that make up the "cult" following behind these films, I recommend ditching the friends. I saw the first one to please those "people" and it was a shambling wreck. Unfortunately I didn't heed the words of The Who and got fooled If you're going to see this to keep the weirdo friends that make up the "cult" following behind these films, I recommend ditching the friends. I saw the first one to please those "people" and it was a shambling wreck. Unfortunately I didn't heed the words of The Who and got fooled again. I love Will O's term "sub-normals". Both films are cheesy, style-over-substance bonehead dreck and this one is even goofier than the first if you can imagine. It gets a 1 for even featuring my beloved Billy Connolly in the cast.… Expand

Matt C. offers up a little gem of advice here. "Critics suck on sequels, listen to fans". Thats about as intelligent and profound a statement as you can expect from a Boondock Saints fan.
