THIS MONTH'S SPECIAL EDITION DVD 26/3/07

This month's Special Edition DVD is the Deluxe Collector's Edition 2-Disc Region 1(USA) of "The Boondock Saints" and there are a number of versions of this film available. This version was released in 2006 and I have only just managed to get hold of a copy and sit back and watch it. Coming in a metal case (as above) with an outer slip giving the films details we get this audacious vigilante tale of two brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery & Norman Reedus) taking the fight to the bad guys in Boston. Having successfully hit several top mobsters they end up with another hitman on their tail in the form of Billy Connolly closely followed by an eccentric FBI Agent played by Willem Dafoe. A strange amalgam of violence and drama with a hefty dose of comedy; not only sets you thinking but revels in it's strange storytelling as it jumps back and forth and explanations are given. A mate of mine Spud had put me onto this film a few years back and lent it to me on video - Glad now to have the uncut version on DVD.
