Terrible but good at the same time

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2008)

I am completely uncertain as to how to feel about In Bruges. It's witty and funny, but at the same time so terrible that I don't want to think about it. I have never seen a movie like it, and I can understand why.
My only advice is be prepared to be shocked and trust me you will be as in parts it can become quite horrific but at the same time make you laugh at the black humour throughout. Not for the squeamish as there's a lot of quite disgusting violence. Don't let anyone "young" see it as it's a bit too heavy for most people under 16 to handle. This also happens to be the first time I have never felt compassion towards the characters in the story.
