15 Bafflingly Low Rotten Tomatoes Scores You Won't Believe

12. The Boondock Saints (20%)

Critical Consensus: "A juvenile, ugly movie that represents the worst tendencies of directors channeling Tarantino." Why It€™s Wrong: This movie has cult classic written all over it. It has an immense fanbase online who love its outrageous humour, its awesome protagonists, and of course, the fact that Willem Dafoe dresses up in drag at the end. It's a free-wheeling, totally mental thrill-ride, but the critics just couldn't relax and enjoy its insanity. Why The Critics Hated It: They were clearly just worn out from the post-Tarantino deluge which occurred during the mid-to-late 90s, where every other movie featured hyper-stylised violence and too-cool-for-school characters spouting self-consciously affected dialogue that nobody would say in real life. It's a casualty of a saturated market, even if it's really one of the better QT knock-offs of the period.
