The 1999 action hit The Boondock Saints, is chock full of themes and undertones. Revolving around the story of two Irish brother's living in south Boston, they take it upon themselves as a calling from God to cleanse the city of the violist filth that corrupts and destroys the moral fabric of the world. They take on the local crime syndicates and eventually find alliances and moral support through the FBI and other mob underlings. Controversial in their means, they are met with both support and criticism. The theme of family also plays in when they meet their father. It is also acknowledged that their prayer is only for them and members of their family to say. So, main themes are family, religion, crime, trust, and culture.
