Connor and Murphy MacManus

Conner and Murphy McManus are the main protagonists of the 1999 independent film, The Boondock Saints. They are the two Irish Catholic brothers from South Boston, who become vigilantes on a "Mission from God" after they are almost killed by Russian mobsters following a barroom brawl on St. Patrick's Day.
Conner is portrayed by Sean Patrick Flanery, and Murphy is portrayed by Norman Reedus.
==Story==
The brothers kill the mobsters and then turn themselves in to the police, though they are quickly released on their self-defense plea. They learn the location of the syndicate's leaders, then kill them all. They are quickly joined by their best friend David Della Rocco, a package boy for the local Italian mafia, who enlists their help in taking down his former syndicate after he is sold out by his bosses Pappa Joe and Vincenzo.
FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker is on the case of the vigilantes, and as the bad guy body count continues to rise and the brothers become local heroes, Smecker has to decide whether he wants to catch the killers or join them.
Everything comes to a head when the Italians, tired of being picked off like flies, call in the mysterious hitman Il Duce to kill Rocco, who they believe is responsible for the killings. When the three Saints and the Duke collide; and when it is finally learned just who Il Duce is, the stage is set for a final reckoning that will bring the South Boston mob to its knees.
==Character traits==
Connor and Murphy MacManus are a pair of Irish Catholic brothers in Boston who believe they have received a revelation to kill the wicked. First murdering a host of Russian mobsters via a clever ambush, the two recruit their friend David Della Rocco and use his knowledge of the inner mob workings to strategically strike and eliminate as many evil men as they can. After being caught by the Yakavetta family, the two get free via Murphy having Connor break his wrist to slip a cuff and the two reunite with their long-lost father to avenge Rocco by sneaking into "Papa Joe" Yakavetta's trial to execute him. Seen as heroes, the brothers later return to all but annihilate more syndicates and prepare to take their crusade to new levels, their influence having grown to the point even police hear their calling.
