Rated: R [See Full Rating] for bloody violence, language and some nudity

Genre: Action/Adventure

Theatrical Release:Oct 30, 2009 Limited

Box Office: $8,475,017

If you liked the original "The Boondock Saints," you won't want to miss this one.

Idiotic style over some sorely needed substance....comes across cringingly rusty; a glorified fan film that only manages to make the popularity of the original picture all the more bewildering.

Trash--grubby and nonsensical, with lame dialogue, wretched overacting and clumsily staged action sequences.

You can't call Duffy's film style original. But he's clever in what he steals.

All I can really say is that if liking a movie where two guys swing off of ropes tied to a building into a window with guns blazing and proceed to slide across the floor on their knees while shredding mobsters up with bullets is wrong, then I don't want t

Bold prediction: At his current glacial pace of progress, Troy Duffy is likely to write and direct the great Irish-American payback movie sometime in the year 2049.

The only good thing to say about this brutal and brutally boring bit of blarney is that it is so relentlessly unpleasant and unappealing that we may never have to endure the likes of "The Boondock Saints III: Get Boondockier."

It's as if writer/director Troy Duffy threw every idea he had at the wall, creating a very messy wall.

Writer-director Troy Duffy needs to YouTube himself a new idea or two, because his variations on themes provided by Quentin Tarantino and Guy "RocknRolla" Ritchie are pure mold.

Can you fly forward through the air while firing two heavy-duty handguns without your arms jerking back and smacking you in the chin? Would that violate one of Newton's laws? Just askin'.

The sequel is just as overlong, filled with gay jokes, gay panic, racial slurs, Keystone Kops humor, ethnic pride, self-satisfied dialogue, and misguided biblical references.

Earns points only for being remarkably unself-conscious about its across-the-board ineptitude.
