SJ Reviews - 'In Bruges' - Dark comedy about hitmen that hits

Recommended Posts

Colin Ferrel brings his great talent for the sarcastic smart ass to this vehicle. In Bruges deals with 2 hitmen hiding out in beautiful, but boring Bruges. Ferrell has a blast with Bruges lack of London flair.

Ralph Fiennes plays the delightfully eccentric boss and fellow henchman Brendan Gleeson is spot on as history loving hitman. Jordan Prentice as the dwarf film star comes close to stealing the movie.

Its a movie filled with sad and funny moments intertwined. You find yourself not wanting to feel for these guys but you cant help it.

Its a very well written typical Indie film that lovers of this genre will gladly embrace..

Saw it last week with the girlfriend. Good flick. Had me laughing quite a bit throughout. Both Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell did a solid job. If you can get past the fact that the movie portrays Americans as fat, dumb, slow, loud, obnoxious, and racist, it's a good movie. :lol:

interesting that you wrote that. Lots of truth to it, unless you are a history buff and one who has a great appreciation for european architecture. But yea... i was in Bruges for 3 or 4 days and by the last day i was officially bored while on the first day it was breathtaking. I had a great experience in the Belfry, videotaping the old wooden gears and many bells that play a tune at noon

No argument there. The stuff they ripped on Americans was actually pretty funny. Particularly with the American midget actor. Some of the strong patriotic types might find it offensive, but it wasn't anything worth being up in arms about.

Excellent movie. I"m planning on taking a drive to Brugge. Possibly next weekend. I've heard good things and I can probably be there in about 4 hours. For anyone who has been, any advice on the parking in Bruges?

The movie itself was hilarious..."'cause you're a herd of ****in' elephants"
