Not a big deal

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2013)

I'm going to start with the good things about this movie. 1)The great crew of actors and their well done acting. We have Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes who was the best of them all. He appeared the least but did a hell of a job. But, that doesn't mean the others failed, all of them made this movie good. And this is one of the reasons I enjoyed it. 2)The place. The title says it. In Bruges. I don't know if that is where the movie is really shot, but still it is a beautiful small town and we get a chance to see it in more than one scene. 3)The story and the twist. Colin's character(Ray) is a hit-man and comes in Bruges with Brendan's character(Ken), because he accidentally killed a little boy. What they don't know, is that Ralph's character(Harry) sent them there, so that Ray could have nice time before Ken killed him. But, of course that is not so simple. In the end, Harry has to come and do the job himself and he ends up having the same faith as Ray, expect he didn't kill a little boy, but a dwarf and he doesn't realize that.
The things that didn't make this movie awesome: 1)It was quite slow,quiet and at moments boring. The only action we see is in the last 10 minutes. But, if you like interesting dialog, it should be OK. 2)When I searched it here at IMDb, they tagged it as a comedy first. It definitely isn't. It has very,very little humor if you know to recognize it because the characters aren't even trying to be funny, and funnily enough, that's the funny. 3)Almost all the three main characters die.I didn't like that. I usually connect with the characters and I don't want them to die, but sometimes I accept a tragic end if it will make the movie great. And maybe it does for this one. Any way, if you don't mind if the lead actors die, then you should enjoy it.
