Hot on the trail of the assailants behind the brutal murder of Russian thugs, FBI agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe) is surprised to discover the killers are Irish twin brothers (Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus) who believe they've been chosen to rid the world of evil.

My Comments:
Though I wouldn't really call this high-brow or thought-provoking entertainment, it is one hell of a fun ride. Lots of people getting shot, over-the-top characters and plenty of humor. If you like movies that simply entertain, this is a movie for you. But be warned, this is one strange ride.
