Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day – DVD Review

Irish stereotypes: They will have us all believing that if our paddy friends aren’t pickling themselves in alcohol, they are furiously thrusting their fists in the general area of any indistinct bystander’s face.

Of course, it’s all complete hogwash. The only Irish people we know are singers, and they generally make us drink excessively and punch ourselves in the face.

But if Irish stereotypes are your thing, then you will be right at home in Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. We’ve got a family of killers (but they do it for good reasons), led by (the very Scottish) Billy Connolly, who travel back to Boston on a revenge trip of inglorious B-movie violence and witless storytelling.

While some cinema-goers might just want to spend 90 minutes perving over Gillian Anderson, a lot of people may be going to find out the answer to long-forgotten questions like a) How much does the Smoking Man spend on ciggies everyday, and b) Will Mulder accidentally find out that his long-lost sister is actually living next door to him?

We’re not too sure about any of that, but we know of three people who could help unravel the mysteries. Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet and Xzibit.
