No Matter if the S...Hits The F...ing Fan or Not Go to Bruges!

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2008)

Very close from being a masterpiece, In Bruges is one of this years' greatest, and probably one of the decade's as well.
Although I was never aware of where Bruges was, I fit right between both main characters' sympathy for the place. The film deals with the duality of these two killers and their disparities of how they will find their self redemption.
The elements of the film are constantly ambiguous by intention, providing moments of extreme seriousness inside sensitive matters, and eventually creating boost of laughters across tense moments.
All the characters are built to hug and kiss and kill you, in their own way. The lines given by the actors are pure brilliancy and are intelligently spoken by the script (read duality and ambiguous for "given" and "spoken").
I am desperately trying to remember a movie as good as In Bruges, but right now all I can think is Monsieur Hire by Patrice Leconte to compare with this one as far as its deepness and simplicity to story tell.
I believe this film will get some serious attention this year for it has the right look of a winner, with the heart of a happy loser (read "winner and loser" as least competitive as you can).
Enjoy this beauty!
