More than just a dark comedy movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2013)

Before I saw In Bruges, I was under the impressions it'd be a black comedy. Now, I respect Farrell as an actor and enjoyed dark humor/ comedy. I definitely went into this without any expectations really, just to enjoy its humor. However, you quickly come to realize its MUCH more than that. Sure, its humours (very good writing might i add) but it has far more depth than i expected. By the end of the film, i was completely blown away. Acting is emotional and excellent. Farrell shows his diversity as an actor and I thoroughly enjoyed Ralph Fiennes' character as well. The writing is some of the best i've ever seen, the script is filled with deep three-dimensional characters.
A must see.
