Almost makes me want to be... In Bruges

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2008)

I went to see In Bruges last night, and I was really pleasantly surprised. I didn't have high expectations since I hadn't heard much about it, and I'm not a huge fan of Colin Farrell, but I'm pleased to say that I was blown away by this dark, witty black comedy.
I was laughing within 5 minutes of the film starting, and the laughs continued from there. Somehow Farrell manages to make his assassin Ray both likable and amusing, and the bond between the two hit men is touching without being sickly sweet.
Basically, this film has it all: comedy, drama, action, thrills and a hint of romance.
I would highly recommend seeing it, you won't regret it! Although I would warn people of a sensitive nature that it's possibly the most politically incorrect film I've ever seen (alongside Death at a Funeral, which happens to be one of the worst films I've ever seen!). So watch out for bad language, xenophobia, drugs, violence, racism and, yes, even scenes of an anti-dwarf nature... Enjoy!
