<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Very intelligent action movie, about two Irish brothers who kill 'sinners' to punish them. The movie is a bit different from the typical action movie, as it doesn't have car-chases or explosions. The action consists of stylish shooting sprees. It also has a fairly original idea that is utilized in nearly every action scene in the movie, and that should be used more often in action films; first you see the aftermath, the crime-scene, the police investigating, counting bodies, etc. After/as the police come up with theories to the crime, we see the actual scene, of the brothers punishing criminals. It's a different kind of vigilante movie. It's particularly gory and bloody, but this just makes it all the more realistic. In real life, there is a significant amount of blood when someone is shot in the head. The movie has some Christian subtexts, I think I've heard about five major theories about the whole movie's meaning. This shows, in my opinion, that there was obviously a lot of thought put into the movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who can stand the gore, even if they aren't Christians. 10/10</div>I read this review and I think it sums it up very well. I just bought the movie and watched it. It's in my top 5. Very original and slick. I remember Rok talking about how good it was and I thought I'd give it a shot. Everyone should see this movie. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After a limited theatrical release, the film was in only five theaters for one week,[1] and poor reviews; the movie proved divisive among some viewers.

This was a great movie, that irish dude in the bar that kept getting the phrases wrong was funny as hell. With that being said, what do you guys think of something like that in real life. Is it ok for two guys to run around and kill the "bad people" like those two do?

I don't know what my opinion is on it (like what they did at the end of the movie).
