HIlarious

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2014)

This movie had me in tears... from laughter. I had absolutely no expectations going into this and didn't expect to laugh half as much as I did. Colin Farrell is brilliant as the not-so-smart thug. His dialog and facial expressions provide much of the comedy in this film.
The setting - Bruges, Belgium - makes for quaint and romantic scenery somewhat at odds with the brutish storyline which only adds to the quirk. Brendan Gleeson is classic as always, fueling the comedic fires even when they burn black.
This film exceeded all my expectations and is definitely up there with Guy Ritchie films like Snatch. Like those films though, you might need subtitles even if you're an English speaker given those thick Irish accents.
