What a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2008)

Occasionally the accents are a bit thick and the f-word is used a bit gratuitously for my taste, but aside from that I LOVED In Bruges. This movie has first rate performances, a well written script, a lovely locale (I thought Bruges was adorable), fascinating characters, and most importantly, a lot of heart. This movie accomplishes the difficult task of enabling the viewer to connect emotionally with murderers. However, the movie never becomes sappy thanks to again, great acting and emotionally powerful scenes that are shot and directed well.
Colin Farrell is an acting powerhouse. Nice work by all the main players.
A highly recommended, very entertaining film. See it!
