A dark comedy worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2014)

Before i sat down to watch this movie i expected it to be okay, but i was quite wrong, In Bruges is a well constructed film, with great comedy, dark crime and good drama. Starting off with the story, i really like it when a movie tells the prologue throughout the movie giving you more clues and never telling you exactly what happened. The structure was fine and the whole movie was rushed or stretched, the writer managed to blend the action and drama together to create a film just right in length and tone. Onto characters, throughout the 1st and 2nd act of the movie we see the bond between our two main characters build and by the third we see them fallout and a situation follows, that i won't spoil. Onto directing, the scenes where we just got to look at Bruges was just perfect, every angle just matched up with the scene, i really felt the connection to the movie, In Bruges deserves praise for its efforts. It may not be the perfect movie but it certainly a movie worth watching. It receives an 8/10.
