Feeling that they are doing God's will, two Catholic men from Boston set out to kill
everyone in this
Reservoir Dogs-style vigilante
thriller. Brothers
Conner and
Murphy MacManus (
Sean Patrick Flanery and
Norman Reedus) take to performing their divine duty against the Russian mob. They massacre a bunch of unsuspecting Mafioso in a scene of absurd violence, then they let more blood in a mass killing of porn-shop customers. Instead of getting thrown in jail, they are dubbed "saints" by the
Boston Herald, and they are praised by brilliant, tortured, and gay FBI agent
Paul Smecker (
Willem Dafoe).
