Egomaniacal goombah filmmaker Troy Duffy is back ten years later with what amounts to a remake of his only film, a colossally juvenile flop that inexplicably became a cult fave once it got to DVD. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think auds were champing at the bit for more Boston Catholic vigilante violence with gay overtones. The cinematography’s nice and the acting’s tolerable, but there’s nothing here but hundreds of people getting stylishly shot. The humor’s inane, the dialogue’s vacuous and pointlessly foul, the theme’s stale. If this movie were a person, it would be trailer trash. And drunk.
