Would I recommend it? No.

Rating: 3/10 (27 April 2008)

OK, so this movie is /watchable/. It didn't make me want to vomit with cringeworthiness like, say, Eragon. It had some novelty to it, it was funny in places. That said...
I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie. There were several reasons I didn't like it. It's a "feel bad" movie. You might come out of it wanting to go home and have a bit of a cry about how nothing really made you feel like justice had been done, or your brain had been pleasured.
For a start, you'd better be prepared to hear one of the two main protagonists, Ray (Colin Farrell), whinge and whine about how he just HATES Bruges, every 5 minutes or so in the movie. This grated on me. A lot. Ray's character irritated me in just about every way imaginable. He is rude, arrogant, ignorant, and gets a kick out of hitting, killing, and insulting people (particularly midgets). For this, the storyline rewards him with the love of a beautiful Belgian girl. This felt very unjust, and just plain irritated me for the whole movie. I kept hoping Ray was going to die.
You'd also better not be easily offended. When people say this movie has lots of black humour, they're not lying. Few taboos are left unbroken, short perhaps of paedophilia. Drugs, sex, violence, racism, insults, you name it, it's in there. I'm not easily offended, nor am I politically correct, but the casual overuse of these somewhat nasty tones for frequent black humour also grated on me. It made me feel bad.
In conclusion, you MAY want to see this movie. It may surprise you at times, but probably not in a good way. It will not make you feel happy, and you'll probably be quite satisfied that those who die in the movie, die. They're all quite nasty people.
