Editorial Review:
Description:
Colin Farrell and Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes star in this edgy, action-packed comedy, filled with thrilling chases, spectacular shoot-outs and an explosive ending you won't want to miss!
Hit men Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson, Harry Potter) have been ordered to cool their heels in the storybook city of Bruges (it's in Belgium) after finishing a big job. But since hit men make the worst tourists, they soon find themselves in a life & death struggle of comic proportions against one very angry crime boss (Fiennes)!
Get ready for the outrageous and unpredictable fun you will have In Bruges, the movie critics are calling, "wildly entertaining" - Stephen Rebello, Playboy.
Amazon.com:
The considerable pleasures of In Bruges begin with its title, which suggests a glumly self-important art film but actually fits a rattling-good tale of two Irish gangsters "keepin' a low profile" after a murder gone messily wrong. Bruges, the best-preserved medieval town in Belgium, is where the bearlike veteran Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and newbie triggerman Ray (Colin Farrell) have been ordered by their London boss to hole up for two weeks. As the sly narrative unfolds like a paper flower in water, "in Bruges" also becomes a state of mind, a suspended moment amid centuries-old towers and bridges and canals when even thuggish lives might experience a change in direction. And throughout, the viewer has ample opportunity to consider whose pronunciation of "Bruges" is more endearing, Gleeson's or Farrell's. The movie marks the feature writing-directing debut of playwright Martin McDonagh, whose droll meditation on sudden mortality, Six Shooter, copped the 2005 Oscar for best live-action short. Although McDonagh clearly relishes the musicality of his boyos' brogue and has written them plenty of entertaining dialogue, In Bruges is no stageplay disguised as a film. The script is deceptively casual, allowing for digressions on the newly united and briskly thriving Europe, and annexing passers-by as characters who have a way of circling back into the story with unanticipatable consequences. That includes a film crew--shooting a movie featuring, to Ray's fascination, "a midget" (Jordan Prentice)--and a fetching blond production assistant (Clémence Poésy) whose job description keeps evolving. There's one other key figure: Harry, the Cockney gang boss whose omnipotence remains unquestioned as long as he remains offscreen, back in England, as if floating in an early Harold Pinter play. Harry has reasons inextricably tender and perverse for selecting Bruges as his hirelings' destination, and eventually he emerges from the aether to express them--first as a garrulous telephone voice and then in the volatile form of Ralph Fiennes. By that point the charmed moment of suspension, already shaken by several irruptions of violence, is pretty well doomed. But In Bruges continues to surprise and satisfy right up to the end. --Richard T. Jameson

If you've ever romanticized about karate-chopping a midget's collar bone, then this movie is definitely for you. In Bruges has it all.. brutal gangster shoot-outs, a fresh & witty well-written script, superb acting (delivered by Colin Farrell even!), coked-up hookers and racist midgets. It's a fun, full-throttle ride that promises plenty of laughs and makes good on it. I recommend this movie if you have a solid sense of humor and don't mind a few blood-splattered F-bombs.

Overlooked indie gem with big name stars Colin Farell, Brendan Gleeson, & Ralph Fiennes as British gangsters NOT involved in a heist for once! A dark comedic look at morality, guilt, and forgiveness set in Belgium's "storybook" city. Recommended rental!

I started out not liking this movie -- slow moving, where was it going, etc. but THEN got pulled in. It is a terrific story with great acting by Colin Farrell and Brenden Gleeson. I had never seen Farrell before and was so impressed by his skill. It's not a happy holiday movie but well worth the viewing. I may even see it again!

Really interesting premise/set-up: You get a gorgeous travelogue on the truly picturesque European city of Bruges, which is the backdrop of a violent, profane gangster tale. To further add to the theme of contrast, the film's most sensitive, likable character (played by Colin Farrell) has committed the most horrendous act in the film, and the most profane, brusque, and dangerous character- played by Ralph Fiennes in a third-act tour de force- actually has the most sensible outlook of everybody, ...

Two Irish gangsters on the lam in a small hotel in Bruges -- one gleefully sightseeing and the other glumly complaining about the medieval hellishness of the town in winter. Colin Farrell is excellent, looking as if his eyebrows are about to jump off his face, just great acting, not the least bit vanity. The lines are so good, the plot twists so unexpected -- it was great fun, tho not for the kiddies. Lots of bad language and some graphic violence.
