Lives up to the title

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2008)

Fantastic. If it were just a movie that had great shots of Brugge, that would be enough. But it also has a great story that is hard to predict where it will go. At the beginning of the movie I thought to myself it could well do without Colin Farrell, but by the end he had won me over. I particularly liked the bit about the guy not letting Brendan G's character into the tower because he was short 0.10. I lived in Belgium for 2 years and this is absolutely what they would do - most uptight people I've ever encountered in my life. (I actually got kicked off a train in Brugge because my train pass had been improperly stamped. Mind you, I'm not the one that did the stamping.)
Brugge is one of the most spectacularly beautiful cities I've ever been to and this film does it justice with it's cinematography and storyline. This isn't a life changing movie, but it is an extremely good indie film that should not be missed.
I full well realize this is a shite review, but that should NOT dissuade you from seeing this movie if you have any interest.
