A piece of drama such as this can only be pulled off with an actor of enormous depth and talent. I wasn't a huge fan of Jason Isaacs before i saw 'scars', i always thought he was a good solid actor, but never saw him in a role that moved me or that was genuinely outstanding. He deserves all the praise in the world for his portrayal of 'chris', i have not seen a better performance for a long, long time.

I would strongly urge you to seek this excellent drama out, a tale of a violent man desperately trying to change for his young son and partner, realising that he can never undo the violence and pain he has inflicted on others. 'i fear for my son so much, that he will bump into someone like me one day'. see it if you can

The very first thing that struck me when i first watched this movie is that it could have been a lot better. Some of the acting is below par and you can tell that the making of the boondock saints was severely hampered by its low budget. It does still have a hell of a lot of redeeming features. The dialogue only rarely slips below excellent, the story itself is, in my opinion, one of the best of the last 15 years or so and there is some truly great camera work to appreciate.

I just cannot help wondering how great it would have been if miramax had kept its considerable weight behind the project. The higher budget would have enabled the hiring better actors (mainly in the supporting roles, it is unfair to criticise the lead actors as they put in great performances). In my opinion, having a strong supporting cast is what makes a good movie great.

So, all in all i would recommend this movie to anyone who likes good characters, great story and sharp, witty dialogue. It will not be the best movie you have ever seen and it probably will not change your life, but it will seriously entertain you and there is enough substance to justify at least a couple of repeat viewings.

I would recommend this movie to everyone. The acting, directing, cinematography are all top notch. The cast are so good that its hard to imagine anyone else in those roles. If this movie does not make you laugh and then at, the very least, make you cry a little bit, then you have no soul.

The greatest movie never to have won an academy award - no doubt. The greatest movie of all time - possibly

If you have never seen this movie you are lucky, because i will never again be able to see it for the first time.A truly heart-warming and inspiring piece of cinema. Awesome
