No man....Willem Defoe

Also, when they fell thru the vent duct upside down from the rope onto the Russian Mafia.... The whole dialogue leading up to it was hilarious....about the rope....and only in TV movies do people crawl thru the AC ducts....

Oh well...I watched it a couple of times and thought it was funny.....

Scenes I liked... included the rope scene, the Willem Defoe introduction (and any time he cursed at a homosexual), and pretty much all of the glorified violence (including the Irish bar scene).

But the film was a collection of scenes with no cohesiveness. Many scenes didn't work at all and left me wanting to fast forward. IMHO, the direction sucked. I looked up the writer/director - he never got another gig after that film.

It is the genre of dark violent film that I usually like, but the execution was poor. A 2 star film with a few 4 star scenes.

I'll view that link when I get home tonight.

As I remember, the rope was one of the only scene transition devices that actually worked... going from the bizarre weapons purchase where Boondock #1 was staring at the rope... to the airduct where Boondock #2 was making fun of the rope.

You want a great death scene, you need to see "There will be Blood" - the very last scene of the movie was incredible. Wow.

No, it wasn't funny haha, but funny in a disturbed way.

Is "Their will be blood" the title of the movie?

There Will Be Blood (2007)

Yes, it is from the Upton Sinclair novel about the rise (and fall) of an oil magnate at the turn of the century. Daniel Day Lewis stars, Paul Thomas Anderson directs. It was up for a bunch of oscars earlier this year and won 2.

My wife got bored and didn't finish it. I got tired of the film about 2 hrs into it (thinking "where is this going, and do I care"), but the final scene is so incredibly good that I'm really glad I finished it. I'll never go bowling again without thinking of that scene.
