In Bruges

About this movie

Academy Award-winner Martin McDonagh makes his directorial debut with this murderously funny film starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two hit men who, after a job goes awry in London, are sent to Bruge to lay low. A beautifully preserved medieval Belgian village, the picturesque city is an odd fit for the two professional killers, but it doesn't take them long to find their own kind of trouble and, possibly, romance amongst the cobblestone. Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes also stars.

Ratings and reviews

Initially a bit put off by the crap title but glad I watched it as it was brilliant, cringeable & shocking in places. Great film that deserves the full five stars.

Brilliant film from start to finish, love the dark humour and beautiful setting of Bruges. It was like being in a fairy tale but with two manky hooks and a racist dwarf.

When actors wish for that part that shows their talent in pure perfection, sometimes they never see it coming and in my opinion it's a classic they can never be not proud of being part of and its for me a film I never tire watching.
