Was Boondock Saints based on a true story?!
Question: At the end of the movie the credits have people being interviewed. Is this a good film choice, or is the movie really based on two vigilante brothers?

The movie is inspired by Troy Duffy's real life while he was living in Los Angeles, but the brothers are entirely fictional. He said that he came home from work one day just as the police were wheeling a dead woman out of the drug dealer's apartment across the hall.
In the interview Duffy said this:
"I decided right there that out of sheer frustration and not being able to afford a psychologist, I was going to write this," he says. "Think about it. People watching the news sometimes get so disgusted by what they see. Susan Smith drowning her kids . . . guys going into McDonald's, lighting up the whole place. You hear things that disgust you so much that even if you're Mother Teresa, there comes a breaking point. One day you're gonna watch the news and you're gonna say, 'Whoever did that despicable thing should pay with their life.' You think -- for maybe just a minute -- that whoever did that should die, without any fuckin' jury."

yea its definately not based on a true story
does anyone watch the boondocks on Swim?
I do not think it is. I am pretty sure that part at the end was just acting. I was just reading about how it was based on the filmmakers life ( kind of). Although it is a really good movie.
