Tired of the crime overrunning the streets of Boston, Irish Catholic twin brothers Conner and Murphy are inspired by their faith to cleanse their hometown of evil with their own brand of zealous vigilante justice. As they hunt down and kill one notorious gangster after another, they become controversial folk heroes in the community. But Paul Smecker, an eccentric FBI agent, is fast closing in on their blood-soaked trail.
Editor's Verdict
"The Boondock Saints is a pure-bred action/crime thriller. While the themes of faith and vigilantism might superficially align with aspects of the Christmas narrative (like redemption), the movie's setting, plot mechanics, and overall tone are completely devoid of the Christmas season or associated traditions. There is no substantive evidence to classify this as a Christmas movie."
