Satire on the Catholic Church

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2013)

The hit-man, Ray, in this film was contracted to murder a priest. He even gives regards from his boss, the contractor Harry, as he does the hit. The priest is obviously familiar with Harry. One can only wonder if that priest had molested young Harry, now intent on vengeance. The young boy accidentally shot, alone at night in a church, is too reminiscent of a situation that could lead to such molestation. Did Harry, now an assassination contractor, turn to crime because of the crisis he suffered as a young boy in church? I got the feeling that the screen writer is critical of the Church. The scene in the church in Bruges that owned a vessel containing some of Jesus's blood seemed critical of such beliefs, even satirical. How could a crusader find the blood of Jesus 1000 years after his death? In fairness, the satire is spread in all directions. Hit men have principles too. A hit-man who kills an innocent child must die. Harry thinks he has killed a child in his process of his vendetta. This "child" is actually a dwarf. None the less, Harry must be true to his own values and punishes himself.
The film laughs at everyone and everything. It is truly entertaining, so it has it's own morality.
