If you like your movies PC then you're gonna hate on "In Bruges"

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2016)

If you like your comedy dark, as in pitch black tar dark, then "In Bruges" is for you. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell are an unlikely pair of hit men hiding out in the titular quaint Belgian hamlet after a job gone horrifically awry. And while Gleeson plays against his standard surly sort as he kills 'em with kindness and Farrell is a riot as a shampoo for brains shooter, this odd and ominous story didn't ultimately come together as I'd hoped it might. There were moments of laugh out loud levity. And then there were scenes of malicious mayhem and deep despondency. Alas, the jarring juxtaposition of this deviant divergence just didn't jive in the end to fully satisfy.
Still, in keeping with the sardonic underpinning of "In Bruges", let us all be clear, shall we? It's dwarf. Got it? Dwarf.
