This Decade Will Remember This One!

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2009)

Martin McDonagh, no matter what he's made in the past, the Oscar-Winner this time he has made a Film that easily goes down in history as one of the finest films of all-time.
Don't pretend, if you've seen 'In Bruges', you know it's nothing short of Fantastic. McDonagh's writing and direction are THE pluses of the film. The screenplay is astounding; the execution is high-class. 'In Bruges' makes you smile, makes you sad, it's a joyride you can't afford to miss.
If the writing and direction get all the hoopla, here's a special mention to: Cinematographer Eigil Bryld for doing his work par-excellence. The editing by Jon Gregory is nothing short of perfection.
Talking of performances: Colin Farrell has delivered bravura performances in many of his previous works, but his work in'In Bruges' makes him go down as one of the finest actors of all-time. The regret, the pain of killing an innocent kid, you fell the pain he's going through. Calling his performance as fantastic would've been an understatement. Bombastic, ya, maybe, but a performance like this is above the words and higher than any praise. Ralph Fiennes is, as always, commendable. Brenden Gleeson is outstanding; especially in the climax. Clémence Poésy does a good job.
Now get this straight: 'In Bruges' is above-the-normal-stuff, way above. This film is gory at places agreed, but in totality, A treat for the viewer! The film will gain a cult following in the coming years, and will be remembered as one of the finest films ever made! Two Big Thumbs Up!
