In Bruges

Sometimes, more than the first viewing of a movie is needed to fully understand it. I admit, when I first saw In Bruges, I hated the snot out of it. The fast talking, the Irish accents, and the all the killing was too much to bear any resemblance to entertainment. A few years later, I watch a little movie called Seven Psychopaths and find it quite entertaining and funny. It had a good build up to to end. Well, that is the sort of movie In Bruges is. It seems to be going nowhere quite slowly, but it all gets sorted out in the end with a little patience.

Good effort from Farrell

Before i watch Seven Psychopaths a film i wanted to see as well as being my first of english director Martin McDonagh's I was told to watch 'In Bruges' first as to which i did and was pleasantly surprised it was a pretty good dark comedy with some dramatic flares to it. Great casting that stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. Farrell portrays Ray a newbie hitman who is wracked with guilt over botching up his first hit and killing a young boy. Along with best buddy also a hitman Brendan Gleeson (Ken) relocates to Bruges, Denmark due to orders to lay low from crime boss Harry Waters(Ralph Fiennes). Upon arriving at the historical city It's not long before Ray falls in love with a Belgium actress who is in town shooting a film that stars an american dwarf named Jimmy.

"In Bruges" by Yojimbo

Failed hit man Colin Farrell is sent to Bruges with fellow hit man and friend Brendan Gleeson to lay low after the botched murder of a priest results in the death of a small boy. Sounds like a barrel of laughs doesn't it? But this endlessly surprising film is just that. The dialogue is extremely smart and witty and it's full of very funny and politically incorrect humour as well as gangster related drama and surreal situations that's slightly reminiscent of a rather more cerebral and literary Guy Ritchie movie. Farrell is great as a culturally inept childish oaf who you can't help liking and despite the humorous approach and dubious morality of everyone involved you actually start to care about them all. I particularly liked the way that their moral "code" is shown as absurdly misplaced a...
