The sequel to "Boondock Saints" hits theaters Friday, Oct 30, just a decade after the first film.

Pahull Bains

Troy Duffy, director of the cult hit *Boondock Saints*, returns to the scene of his 1999 debut with *The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day*. Yes, 10 years later.  
  
Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus reprise their roles of the righteous MacManus brothers/avengers, who are currently in hiding at hit-man dad Billy Connolly's Irish farm after their previous dregs-of-society-executing exploits.  
  
But they find themselves back in Boston (and back to business) when a priest is murdered in the brothers' signature style, and it's up to them to find the real culprit.  
  
According to Mike Hale at the New York Times:

> "At least a quarter of his relentless gags may make you laugh. Like its predecessor, *All Saints Day* will, if nothing else, be a cult item for Roman Catholic schoolboys; the next sequel, blatantly set up, should arrive no later than 2019."

And Ty Burr of the Boston Globe thinks that, "for most of its running time, *All Saints Day* plays like a boozy, amiably foul-mouthed remedial school reunion."  
  
Well, that's sure got us excited to watch it!
