A beautiful film

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2008)

This film is certainly worth it just to see how beautiful Bruges really is. It's one city I have never seen yet in Europe but I'm sure I will in the future along with other very beautiful cities in the Low Countries, i.e. Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels. Add to that a great balance of thriller and dark comedy and this could be the Snatch of 2008. Negatives? I guess not seeing Ralph Fiennes till midway through the movie - yes he was on the telephone with Brendan Gleeson's character earlier in the film but Fiennes' acting at his best has to be seen and he was definitely pretty good when he was on the screen. But all in all, a superb film definitely worth watching and definitely worth getting out on DVD eventually.
