Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2008)

This is such a fine piece of work, it is a laugh-out-loud movie with many surprising moments and so much wit. The blend of the dark side of things with comedy is superb. I think the genre is clear, it's black comedy. There are so many scenes when you actually expect the dialogue to develop differently (or actually the plot itself) and it's just so naturally funny. This is a movie that has to be watched in the original language, because the Irish comments and sense of humour is in itself hilarious. I would say except for the last 15 minutes, when I thought it was all going a bit over the top (which is why I give 9 out of 10), this is a very inventive, original way of storytelling, an intriguing plot, with character development, beautiful shots of Bruges and the sense of humour is just very deep, very fine, superb!
