One of the best dark comedies I've ever seen

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2018)

I watched this movie after seeing a YouTube video about movies with hidden meanings. It mentioned that In Bruges was a metaphor for purgatory, or hell, and I was intrigued. I wasn't disappointed.
This was one of the best dark comedies I've ever seen. Funny, witty, intensely dark and harrowing, and I never knew what to expect. My favorite character in the movie was Ken (played well by Brendan Gleeson), the older hitman who we find out halfway through is a widower (still wearing his ring, and still mourning his late wife). The major theme in the movie is the gray areas of morality, and how there can be honor among thieves, or in this case hitmen.
