Storyline

Two Irish brothers accidentally killed mafia thugs. They turned themselves in and were released as heroes. They then see it as a calling by God and started knocking off mafia gang members one by one. Willem Dafoe plays the detective trying to figure out the killings, but the closer he was to catching the Irish brothers, the more he thinks the brothers are doing the right thing.

Goofs

Continuity: The toilet bowl which Connor first pulls out of the floor appears to be a real toilet bowl. When looking directly down at a real toilet bowl, it is impossible to see all the way though it. The next scene with Connor carrying the toilet, the bowl is definitely a prop. This is evidenced in two ways. First you can see through the bottom. Secondly, when it falls on Chekov, the shattered pieces are too thin. The porcelain on a standard toilet bowl are way thicker. Large chunks of porcelain should have still been visible, when Murphy was recovering Connor. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Mackiepenny: Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, the glory, now and forever. Amen.
