    In Bruges

     by  Scarpia773

    Dark movie, with comedic moments, and wonderful acting. Story is about two Irish hit men, ordered by their boss to go to Bruges (a small midevil city in Belgium). The plot has some interesting twists and turns, and some serious violent scenes, but most of the movie is devoted to David Mamet style dialogue, and gives the film a "theatre play" quality. The movie leaves you with some disturbing images and feelings about the characters who are intensely portrayed.

    Fine Acting, Suspenseful

     by  agnyc

    I never took Colin Farrell very seriously, but he gives a very able performance. Brendan Gleeson is wonderful as Ralph Fiennes as a sociopathic ringleader of hitmen.

    Collin Farrel Redeems Himself

    Great movie, but not for old people that want to see a buddy movie set in Europe.

    One for Tarantino and Coen Bros fans

    If you enjoyed Pulp Fiction or Fargo you will enjoy this.

    In Bruges

     by  Chet40

    This is a great surreal dark-comedy which takes the viewer on a very uncomfortable but funny ride through the streets of Bruges, Belgium. It is somewhat gory, so not for the very squeamish. Colin Farrells performance is very good and shows his range as an actor.

    The subject of the film is a "vacation" given to two (2) hit men, by their crime boss, after they botch a hit in London. The vacation spot is Bruges, which is the best preserved medieval city in Europe.

    This film goes beyond merely telling the story by including the city itself as a kind of character. It highlights Bruges' now quaint and fairytale-like architecture with its less than comfortable past by touring local art musuems and churches. The effect juxtaposes the environment as light, peacful and quaint and then strange and foreign and dark. Bruges itself is a relevation to anyone who did not know of it before.

    in bruge was fantastic

    this is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. collin farrell was outstanding. the movie was sharp, quick witted, soulful. it was dark however hilariously realistic at times. loved the "you're an elephant" and "leave it fatty" lines.

    In Bruges

    Wow, this was a great movie. The script, first of all, was brilliant, and the direction, acting and scenery all supported it equally. Someone described is as a funny Pulp Fiction, and it didn't disappoint from that viewpoint. Definitely recoommend it!
