a must watch =]

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2008)

This must be my first time ever writing a review for any movie on IMDb. I often refer to the reviews on IMDb, but never quite felt the need to comment on the movies I have watched. In Bruges, it seems, is not very well known. But it is definitely the best movie I have seen in a while.
I was told that it was a witty movie about two hit men and that's about all I really knew about the movie itself. I'd never seen the trailer or anything. I must admit that Bruges is a beautiful place and the cinematography excellently brought out the finer points of the little town. I'd have to say that it was slow in the beginning and left me in a state of curiosity, but things all worked themselves into place eventually and the movie itself was more emotional than I had expected. I loved the Irish humour and it was a good balance for the emotional strings that the movie managed to pull.
I've told everyone I've talked to that they should watch this movie. It's simply that good.
