Not everyones cup of tea

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2009)

Two hit-men arrive in Bruges, Belgium after a hit that went bad...Hiding out in a town that isn't the most liveliest; there way of life is called into questioning.
Colin Farrell is an actor that I didn't pay attention to very much until I saw him in 'Miami Vice' and since then I've seen interviews were he seems to exude a charming and interesting personality. And here displays his acting skill once again.
I found the film to be quite slow at first but then you begin to fall for it's dreary charm and realise it's quite funny. I thought the casting was done brilliantly bringing in Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes; each adds something unique and wonderful.
The little town gives the film a darker tone, which makes it 'a fairy tale' as Ken would say.
Brendan Gleeson plays the hit-man with a taste for the finer things in life , beautifully giving the hit-man character a warmth, while Colin brigs a nervousness; having to battle his emotions constantly...Ralph Finnes is simply dazzling as the real 'ard cockney gangster.
I kind of figured out the ending when 'Harry' mentioned what he would do himself if he ever took the life of a child.
All in all, an film with amazing acting, script writing and comedy.
