Quite good actually... witty script!

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2011)

Surprisingly good movie. I rather liked the dark comedy element of the whole thing. The dynamic between Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes was great. Those 3 really made the movie for me! The movie made me laugh out loud in quite a few spots. Two hit men wandering around aimlessly is not really my type of thing but the script is so clever that you somehow end up marveling at the whole ridiculous story. I never cared much for Farrell as an actor - he always seems to be playing these annoying schmucks - but here he's just hilarious. Especially the way he plays off Brendan Gleeson's character. He is sooooooo bored out of his skull by being in Bruges that you almost feel sorry for him. While Gleeson is taking in the sites and all the architecture that Bruges has to offer Farrell looks like he's about to crack up or lose his mind. He's *that* bored! Hilarious stuff!
