What's all the fuss about

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2009)

now i'm really into classy cinema and i usual like what all the critics like but i really don't understand why this has been hyped up so much..... its a fairly straight forward plot about two guys that are hit-man and are basically chilling out in Belgium. i guess the film talks on some levels about friendship and atonement but it doesn't save the boring plot. Colin Farrel does an OK job i guess and Ralph Fiennes is my favourite in this even though he's hardly in it. i wouldn't class this film as a comedy even though there are some subtle comedy underlinings. i'd be more accurate by saying this film is a moody and dramatic piece. i really couldn't find anything special about this. i didn't hate it. it had its moments of originality and i guess some people will love this but the film really didn't grab me.
i am extremely astonished that this is in the top 250. its makes me think there must be something subliminal going on in this film that i didn't catch on too. overall this film was a let down and really left me feeling like i wasted my money from purchasing it........... 4.5/10...........j.d Seaton
