One of the Best Films of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2008)

Where to begin on this film? "In Bruges" is simply the most original films that I have seen in a long while. Martin McDonagh has written a hilarious dark comedic adventure. The story is very intriguing, but the characters are shear genius, and they are improved with the perfect cast.
Many people will pass this up on these bases: I've never heard of it; It is a British film; and Colin Farrel is in it.
I am openly admitting that before I saw this film, I did not care for Colin Farrel and I was not a fan of his acting. He redeems himself in this role. His deep and comedic portrayal of his character cannot be missed, not to mention Brendan Gleeson's astounding work and Ralph Fiennes doing one hell of a performance. Even the smaller characters are so very interesting.
This film is a must see! Don't miss out on "In Bruges"!
