Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2016)

I will kick of the review by quoting another reviewer a bad review to illustrate that some people simply do not know what they are talking about, "One thing I am really sick of in English-language movies (not only this one) is all these Continental European supporting characters with absolutely flawless English, in this case Colin Farrell's enormously annoying Belgian love interest. Not only do they never make any mistakes, they speak the language so brilliantly that they can hold their own in witty conversations with native speakers, firing from a sparkling repartee that includes puns on English words that I assume wouldn't work in their own language. How about making a movie for a change in which Belgians, Germans, Italians, etc. speak English the way they really do, i.e. BADLY? Of course, no explanation is ever given why they speak English so well. Usually one of the native-speaker characters just makes a stupid surprised face and says something like "Wow, your English is really good", and that's that. On to the next pun." In Europe they often do speak flawless English often better than the British, this film is simply wonderful on so many levels, great script, brilliant acting. Colin Farrell deserves every accolade for his role, I would encourage anyone to watch this wonderful film.
