Fifth rate rip-off of Pulp Fiction

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2011)

In Pulp Fiction, the dialogue was, if not witty exactly, at least funny from time to time. And you empathise to an extent with Jules and whateverisnamewas, especially after the scene where they are cleaning up the car. That's really quite funny.
There's nothing equivalent in "In Bruges", (and they can't even spell or call it right, the city is really named Brugge as everybody knows) and I don't understand the point at all. WTF is all that stuff with the midget all about? And why is it to be assumed that just because a guy uses the c-word every third time he opens his mouth that that makes him well hard? (Sexy Beast, another totally crap film, makes the same mistake). The fairies at the bottom of my garden are harder than Harry is.
As a gangster film it's ludicrous. (Has there been a decent gangster film since Lee Marvin died?) And as a comedy it fails the very first test... it just ain't funny.
My rating 2 stars out of 10, and it only gets them on account of the lovely shots of the wonderful city of Brugge that you get to see by accident every so often.
