A surprisingly good movie with a convincing Farrell in the lead.

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2009)

When I was going to see this I didn't have the highest expectations. But In Bruiges surprised me, It was a great movie, and one of the best comedies of the year. I'm not the biggest fan of Colin Farrell either, but I have to say that he was fantastic in this movie, his character is so convincing that I will probably always see him as "Ray" from now on. Brendan Gleeson made a great performance as well, but Fiennes could have been better, I See his performance as rather flat. The directing and cinematography was great, they make Bruiges seem so beautiful and exotic. The writing is superb, some scenes are really funny, bu there's also a lot of suspense and great dialog. Overall "In Bruiges" was a great movie, It surprised me, especially Farrell. And I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good time.
