Better than the movie

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2013)

Let's be honest, the only reason I'm writing this review is the fact that I live in Bruges myself. I'm almost ashamed to admit that after seeing this nonsense. The storyline is about as thin as the paper it was written on and filled with totally unbelievable plot twists. Imagine this: one of the gangsters jumps off the belfry (84 meters high) and has a nice little conversation when lying on the pavement he landed on. If you think that's ridiculous wait until you see the ending. It's about the dumbest I've ever seen in any movie.
The only thing they've done right to shoot it in the most beautiful city in Belgium. The scenery is excellent and the only reason I rated 3/10 in stead of the 1/10 it would normally deserve. People who know tell me that tourist revenues have gone up after this movie was made. At least we've got something out of it.
Bottom line: don't watch this. Come to Bruges. It's better than the movie.
