Not Oscar (or Globe for that matter) worthy. Still, it was decent and quite the change of pace. A combination of Boondock Saints meets Coen Bros. A little over rated but funny, smart, and decently well acted. Maybe try it. |

In Bruges |
|
In Bruges is a film that sounds a bit dull, but when watching it, dull never comes into it. Its a film that surpasses expectations because it crosses genres and themes that maybe we weren't expecting. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson have character, and the script gives them some real heft and emotion that suprised me, and though it stumbles towards the third act, it thankfully picks up the electric pace again for the finale. |

"Hooray for Hitmen!" |
|
"In Bruges" is a great example of a movie that's better than it should be. The take on hitmen have been tackled in movies a good amount, but it has never been this good. The movie is a dark comedy at its core, yet it has some affective drama thrown in. Both of the genres oddly mix wonderfully, and is balanced well. I went in not expecting much, but i gladally was suprised. The story of "In Bruges" is one that gradually hooks you in and works for your respect. "In Bruges" is daring, occasionally poetic, and a real breath of fresh air.The story is a deep character study and cautionary tale that works with its great, memorable characters. All characters are flawed, but they grow on you. "In Bruges" takes risks, but they all pay off with amazing results. All of this couldn't be possible if i... |

A Great Surprise |
|
This movie was surprisingly great! I rented this movie when it came out on DVD and didn't expect all the comedy that came along with it. I was expecting a more serious movie and didn't think I would find anything that really stood out about it, but I got a great surprise. Colin Farrell plays a hitman who isn't so keen on Bruges which is ironic considering the reason he's there. Oddly enough I found Ralph Fiennes' character likeable even though he really isn't a nice man. This movie really makes for some great entertainment. This movie comes highly recommended from me. |

Damn Good Entertainment |
|
After I sent my kids to bed, I went on to HBO and watched it. It looked pretty good from the trailers, and I never did get a chance to see it in theatres, so I gave it a shot. It was great! It was funny, entertaining, had a great cast, and overall it was a great movie. Colli Farrell was hilariouse in it, especially in the resteraunt scene and the scene with the fat people. Highly recomended. |

I finally saw it today, which is weird 'cause I'm Belgian and loved all the Belgium jokes. Is there something wrong with me...? ;)
I thought Colin Farrell's performance was great, very funny but very touching at the same time. Flemish Belgian people have a very different accent than that spoken by the actors in the movie though, but I'm sure nobody outside of Belgium would notice that. |

I think it was one of Colin Farrell's best parts yet. He was dynamite. Slow start to the film, but builds nicely to the end |

I really really liked "In Bruges". Its different and offers a great, yet odd mixture of dark comedy and drama. I thought the proformances by Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Finnes, and Colin Farrell were some of the best of last year. |
