Forget the DVD cover and give this one a shot.

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2015)

I remember the marketing back in 2008 for "In Bruges", its being sold as some farcical comedy. It isn't, and the movie made for a remarkably pleasant surprise. Colin Farrell's never been my cup of ea, but I really liked him in this movie; flawed character, cheeky little shìt, he's got great personality. And one of the movie's biggest gifts is making you feel for two leads, a pair of murderous hit men. It's a film full of foul language, prostitutes and a dwarf, and yet it excels at being both sad and rewarding.
Sometimes it's a quirky sightseeing tale, others it's a crime movie - but essentially, it's a dark comedy, and a great one.
8/10
