Also, he sleeps with an Asian boy that couldn't help stroking his skinny-Platoon.made torso!
this is one of those films where if someone tells me they love it, i know they're wasting my time. bro-garbage.
Ok, this was definitely fun to watch. It has cool characters, some really cool dialogues and, overall, it's a pretty cool movie. And that's the problem I have with it; it tries so hard to be cool that it misses the chances it has to question the morality of vigilante justice. I wouldn't mind, but that seems to be a major issue for Willem Defoe's character and the movie doesn't even grasp the surface of his dilemma.

This faux-Tarantino bullshit is dangerous, immoral, offensive cinema. It is so up its own ass that it must have been ghost directed by whatever embodiment of misguided teenage fantasy was around. There is nothing competent in this film. Nothing. I wish Troy Duffy was still blacklisted.
how dare anyone riff on tarantino! tarantino would never riff on any dir- oh wait...
absolute shit,some sequences are interesting but overall a shitty soundtrack,shitty script,stupid editing,and bad direction crippled this from being even slightly good
absolutely fucking awful. overrated and overhyped to the max. the action scenes were the only positive thing I have to say about this movie. Willem Dafoe's character is probably one of the worst things I've ever seen. Awful dialogue, bad pacing, shitty acting. 2/10
Willem Dafoe as crazy FBI agent versus the two bloody irish brothers... like it, great stuff..!
I don't care what anyone says: this movie, chock full of guns, pimps, gangsters, vigilantes and one serious, yet flamboyantly gay cop, is over the top and very funny. Luckily, it doesn't stray too far from that formula into serious drama territory, otherwise it would lose a lot of its appeal and quotability.
There is no reason why I should like this movie. This is terrible, yet entertaining. The sequel was terrible and horribly boring.
It was reported that Kevin Spacey was going to play Willem Dafoe's character, but turned it down. I don't blame him! This movie is hugely overrated! A pretentious action movie that feels like it wants to join the big crowd, but doesn't deliver anything special. What's worse is by having our main protagonists being motivated by God's call, in other words; we're supposed to root for a bunch of schizophrenics? Please!
the beginning was kind of rough, i had no idea where it was headed. then i got into it. i liked Willem Defoe's passionate character more than the two McManus brothers; he played his part beautifully. however, the film overused fades in its editing. Yet, the soundtrack, and cinematography get an A plus.
I had high expectations on this film, it was certainly entertaining and some bits were really funny. Loved Dafoe. The story and style felt a bit outdated and the plot didn't really hold together enough for me. It had a nice Big Lebowski feel to it. Check it out !.
Some funny scenes, but overall a big mess made by someone who probably watched Reservoir Dogs and The Big Lebowski one too many times, but clearly doesn't know how to write or direct a film.
Troy Duffy... Troy Duffy... Troy Duffy... Wow, what can I say...? To anyone who hasn't seen 'Overnight' (2003), they must see it before they watch this steaming pile of dog shit. Know the artist before you know the work... This guy is compelling... for reasons that are quite unique, quite unconventional in terms of what usually attracts me to a filmmaker... a true case of schadenfreude! See 'Overnight' people!
This movie had some fantastic scenes in it, mainly the parts where Willem Dafoe is figuring out what the brothers did in each assassination. Outside of that, meh
Like being drunk on mouthwash: only tolerable if you're a teenager or an urchin.
Basically this movie is 1/3 inspired genius and 2/3 total shit. I wish Troy Duffy would make more films cause if he really gave it a go, he could evolve into a genuinely great director.
