The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Story
After the MacManus brothers, Connor and Murphy, and their father, Noah, assassinated Papa Joe Yakavetta, they fled to Ireland. Their uncle Sibeal, a priest, arrives to inform them that a renowned Boston priest was murdered by a mysterious assassin who attempted to frame the Saints by using their ritual assassination style. So the brothers dig up their old gear and weapons and depart for the United States.
On their way to Boston aboard a container ship, they meet a Mexican underground fighter named Romeo, who recognizes them as the Saints. Romeo convinces them to let him join them as their new partner. Hearing a radio broadcast regarding Papa Joe's son, Concezio Yakavetta, they come to the conclusion that he must have hired the hit-man who killed the priest in order to draw them out of hiding.
Meanwhile, Detectives Greenly, Dolly, and Duffy (from the previous movie) are at the scene of the priest's murder. They are greeted by Special Agent Eunice Bloom, the protege of Paul Smecker (the F.B.I. detective from last movie, who now has died), who has been assigned to investigate the murder and determine whether or not the Saints are responsible. She comes to the conclusion that it was not the Saints who murdered the cleric and begins an investigation to find the real assassin. She and the other officers find out the assassin is Ottilio Panza, a man who seems to be working for a mysterious man known as "The Old Man".
Connor, Murphy, and Romeo hit a warehouse that is being used by an Asian gang to process heroin for Yakavetta. After killing everyone at the warehouse, Connor and Murphy reunite with their old bartender friend, Doc. They learn that the assassin was an independent contractor and that Yakavetta himself is hiding in the Prudential Tower. Later at the warehouse, now a crime scene, Bloom recognizes the ritual performed on the person in charge of the heroin warehouse, and confirms that the Saints have returned.
The brothers and Romeo have one of Yakavetta’s underbosses, Gorgeous George, set up a meeting with a group of mobsters at a bar, where they kill them. Panza arrives shortly after and attempts to ambush the brothers, but Bloom arrives in time to save them by wounding Panza, who flees. Bloom introduces herself, revealing her intentions to help the Saints in Smecker's place. The group then cleans up the crime scene to make it look as if the mobsters had turned on each other. Later, Bloom reunites the other detectives with the Saints, thus bringing them in on their plans.
Yakavetta calls a meeting with his crew, during which the Saints arrive and kill everyone including Yakavetta. Bloom interrogates Yakavetta's right-hand man and finds out of the Old Man’s involvement with Panza. Later at the bar, Greenly arrives to celebrate the boys' victory and is shot and killed by Panza. Noah, earlier having decided to help his sons, unexpectedly arrives to demand Panza tell him The Old Man's location. They engage in a Russian Roulette-sort of stand off, and after Panza still refuses to answer, Noah kills him.
Noah reveals to the group that in 1950s New York, he watched a trio of mobsters brutally murder his father in front of his eyes. Consumed with anger and wanting revenge, Noah killed the mobsters with the help of his best friend Louie, who is revealed to be the Old Man. Noah still felt unsatisfied, so Louie helped him pick out mobsters to kill. They continued this until 1975, when Louie gave Noah up to the police.
Bloom illegally obtains a file regarding Louie's location in York, Maine and gives it to Noah. Louie, anticipating the Saints arrival at his mansion, has several hit-men stationed on the grounds. When the MacManus family arrives, Louie tells Noah that he only used him to eliminate the competition in the Mafia, afterwards giving him up to the police when he was no longer useful. After this, however, the Mafia cast Louie out since he was of no more use. He then helped rebuild the Yakavetta family after Papa Joe's demise, and let the Saints take out the rest of the organization so Louie could take control. Louie signals the hit-men waiting to take out the Saints to make their move, but the Saints kill them all. Noah suffers a fatal gunshot wound, and before he dies, he kills Louie. The police arrive and arrest the wounded Connor, Murphy, and Romeo.
Bloom meets with Uncle Sibeal, who has arranged to take her to a safe place out of the country to flee the F.B.I. She is shocked to discover that Sibeal has been working with Smecker, who is still alive, having faked his death and developed a network of support for the Saints and their work. Smecker tells Bloom his plans to break the Saints out of prison.

Voces Inocentes
this movie was cool. i have seen it before. its about a few little kids that live in el Salvador and they try to get away from the militia. the main character is split from his family but finds his mom at the end. the colors in this movie were really dark and sort of gloomy and sad.
