Boring rip off of geyser Tarantino movie

Rating: 2/10 (5 December 2010)

In January 1993 I sat in a Cambridge cinema and watched an OK movie - not great but OK. It was called 'Reservoir Dogs' and I am still watching rubbish homages cum lazy rip offs of that so-called ground-breaking movie - 'In Bruges' is the latest and it is pretty poor. Yes, the first fifty minutes are OK in a breezy comic sort of way as a couple of hit men try to come to terms with being exiled after a botched job in Bruges. Then it tries to mix serious with comic and completely collapses so that even an excellent Brendan Glesson cannot save. Once again a director who has had praise for his first film makes a turkey but the critics cannot go back on their first impressions - witness the absolute rubbish that Tarantino has been turning out since his debut!!!!!!!!! So Ralph Fiennes, sporting the worst cockney accent since Dick Van Dyke (it's too posh even for mockney), arrives to kill Colin Farrell, spending hours walking around with a gun firing indiscriminately at the tourists with not a policeman in sight!!!! I kid you not! Unbelievable, don't care about the characters, writing that should not grace a ten year old's Nativity Play, and swearing that merely becomes tiresome. Well done, Film Four, thank you for such terrible cr**!!!
