They're filming midgets!

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2008)

Wow, what a little gem this movie turned out to be. I had heard absolutely nothing about it, and just decided to rent it a random. To say the least, I was pleasantly surprised.
In Bruges turned out to be a wonderful black comedy about two hit men spending time i the Belgian town of Bruges, waiting for a call detailing their next assignment.
The script was very good, but the dialogue is nothing but excellent! There are so many wonderful moments and hilarious one-liners, but it never feels forced or strained. Instead, the comedy comes naturally from the situations and the characters.
I don't think I've ever seen Colin Farrell in a comedic role before, but he delivers a fantastic performance. The same said can be said about the rest of the cast who were all wonderful.
In Bruges was one of the best and funniest movies that I've seen this year, and I've seen quite a bunch. It's quite rare with a movie that manages to balance drama and comedy so well.
It is definitely a movie that I am likely to watch many times again in the future. Actually, I had to pause the movie about half way through to send an email to my friends, recommending this film. Don't miss it!
