Thank God for this Film!

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2008)

Simply fantastic! The visual art in the film makes it worth the rent. Amazing location shots that are set amongst beautiful and historic backdrops compliment Martin McDonagh's perfect direction. The acting in the film ranges from average to great, but Colin Farrell gives the performance of his career(which is obviously not a grueling task). The script was very inclusive and gave viewers aspects of dark comedy as well as straight comedy. All of this was mixed into a pot of social awareness, love story and satire. The beautifully brutal action sequences were perfectly distributed between the dry and scoreless dialogue. I believe In Bruges is one of the finest of 2008, I absolutely loved this film.
