In Bruges

imdb Photos

Plot
Two British hitmen are sent the Bruges, Belgium to hide out. The movie shows their adventures with the townspeople, and eventually with their boss.

Review
This is an uneven movie with some excellent acting, some beautiful pictures and some interesting plot, unfortunately this alternates with some dull dialog and sleepy pacing. I did not find Ray, the Collin Farrell character, very realistic, very interesting or very likable. Brendan Gleeson (Ken) was good, and Ralph Fiennes, who played the boss, was masterful.

Cast and crew:
Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes; written and directed by Martin McDonagh

Rating
2.0


More
A sophomoric flick that tries to be commercial and still be cool and indie. It forgets that good indie movies mean something, and the meaning here is nothing more than it is not good to murder your friends, which everyone knows already.
