The boondock saints

If you have ever seen the movie Boondock Saints, you not only know how great of a movie it is, but also overly violent. Why are movies like these so violent? Because we Americans love it so much. But that's another topic. Im going after the controversy in the movie of weather or not it's ever okay to murder someone. I can see both sides of the argument, and have to side with the no side. Its never okay to kill anyone, no matter what they have done.
Forgive and forget. That is what I say that it's never good to kill anyone for any reason. Besides, who are we to play God? I know that some others would look at this totally different, and would I act upon my words in a situation simular to this? I hope to never find out. But others can look at this and say "look what they did to my family! An eye for and eye right?" Jesus talks about this in Matthew 5:38-39. "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also." So Jesus has an answer for the Boondock Saints. Yea, take that movies of extreme violence and controversy!
