 Good fun must watch!! November 30, 2008
This film is an excellent black comedy, a total roller coaster of emotion, side splittingly funny one second shocking the next. The characters are likeable bad guys with personal issues.
I'd highly recommend this film to any one who wants a change from a serious action film and just wants to while away some time. Some scenes are very graphic but combined with the humour makes it hard to decide wether to laugh or cry.
If I was to some sum up the film in one word it would have to be 'Random'.
Actually made me want to go there. November 30, 2008
Think this may be in my Favourite film category.
Darkly comedic, thought provoking, beautifully shot, surealy romantic.
Probably wouldnt suit Daily Mail readers though ... (Yet another reason to like it)!
I love midgets November 21, 2008
This is the best film I've seen this year. I don't usually rate Colin Farrell but he's really good at this. If you like a bit of black comedy then you'll love this.

In a year or hype and tripe at the cinema when all the sequels failed to sparkle and originality seemed dead 'In Bruge' slipped into the multiplexes, under the radar, with very little fanfare and a trailer that did it little favours. By pure accident, with nothing else on at the time I wanted, I grudgingly handed over my cash and plodded to the smallest screen Odeon had to offer. I emerged elated. Not since taking a risk on Withnail and I had I had such fun at the cinema. This was a great discovery and I vowed to spread the word. In Bruges is indeed a rare beast. Honestly I had resigned myself to never laughing throughout a film ever again until this. As horrible as the two lead characters are (two charming foul mouthed, racist, homophobic, killers) you actually grow to love them as they grow to understand themselves. This is films magic. It is so well written, acted and directed. It doesn't rush, it plods along quite happily. If Tarantino was Irish and a better Director and writer this would be the result.
Very Funny Black Comedy November 8, 2008

Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and Ray (Colin Farrell) play a couple of Irish hitmen hiding out in the Belgian medieval town of Bruges after a bungled contract killing in London. They are given strict instructions to wait at their hotel for angry boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes) to call with further instructions.
Although In Bruges is a 'british gangster flick' of sorts, don't let that put you off. It's certainly not just another 'Lock Stock' clone with flash camera tricks and cockney geezers, this is an original and very funny film. The dialogue is fantastic and the two leads do an excellent job as the bickering pair. Colin Farrell is suprisingly funny outside of his usual macho roles and delivers his lines brilliantly. The setting of Bruges is beautiful too and filming takes in some stunning locations. Things turn nasty when Harry turns up and there are some violent scenes but In Bruges is essentially a black comedy with some very dark, very un-PC humour (racist dwarves, prostitutes and fat tourists).
