Almost eight years later and there is a sequel. This movie is not as great as the first one but it is pretty darn close. It was great. And I and others I know who has watched agree.
The second movie starts with the brothers in Ireland ten years later. Some guy killed a priest and framed the brothers. That forces them to go back to Boston. All the old cast members are back; Detective Greenly (Bob Marley), Detective Dolly (David Ferry), and Detective Duffy (Brian Mahoney). Even Rocco (David Della Rocco) has an apperance. In an awesome dream sequence. There is this great speach and it inspires you to go out and do something. Is Paul Smeckler (Willem Dafoe) in it? Your going to have to watch and find out. The cast is also lead by new people who fit in very nicely. Julia Benz stars as Special Agent Eunice Bloom, Smecklers protage. The new sidekick, Romeo, is played by Cliffton Collins Jr. He is very different than Rocco, but it fits. And you cant help but like him. Among others there is Billy Connolly, II Duce, who is the MacManus brothers dad. He showed up at the end of the first one.
The movie is set up the same way, has great liners. Still the action, the shooting and all. And a suprised ending that you will love than hate.
Just like the first one, this is a must see. If you like the first, you will like the second one. Check it out.
