Farrel as a good casting came quiet unexpected. As for the movie it has grace rarely seen these days. Not only the use of scenery and existential chatter, but also the way dialogueless moments are weaved into mood of the characters benefits from that.

This is one of the most well written movies that has come out as of late. Everyone is good but Fiennes steals every seen he is in. Farrell is finally showing light to his "best actor of his generation" status that Pacino dubbed him as.

An extremely on-point mix of action, comedy, and tragedy, never missing a step or taking too many in one direction. It's structured very cleanly, ranging from hilarious to meditative without ever risking swiftness and efficiency. The script is sharp, supported by a wonderful performance from Gleeson, a hilarious one from Fiennes, and a surprising one from Farrell. A highly recommendable good time.

Excellent British gangster action-thriller. While the film is structured in an unusal way, it makes for some great sequences and some tense moments intersperced by some surreal dark comedy and plenty of profanities. Parts are all played excellently, notably by Farrell, Gleeson and Fiennes. Generally the film just comes together well and has the kind of gritty feel that you'd expect in any kind of city underworld, surprising as wouldn't expect there to be so much overspill in the historic Bruges.

In Bruges does something that seems increasingly rare for comedies these days--it gives us characters that are developed and thereby that we care about. Its visual sensibility is occasionally inventive and makes good use of hand held cameras, at least some of the time. And of course, it was plenty funny, keeping its comic perspective even to the last moments of the film. One of the funniest closing lines that I can recall among recent releases. The only downer is the silly chase scene at the end

I went in expecting an uproarious comedy, and while the film certainly is hilarious, it was the dramatic underside that resonated with me most. For a debut film, it's remarkable. The performances are all fantastic, especially Farrell, who finally takes a leading role and knocks it out of the park. They are all aided by McDonagh's sharp, witty script, which elicits laughter and sadness simultaneously like few films are able to. The visual style is impressive, and Bruges itself is a scene-stealer.

McDonagh's first film pairs comedy and tragedy like no other, with the superb script tackling its themes of guilt, morality and judgment in astonishingly deep and humorous ways. Farrell and Gleeson give the most nuanced performances of their careers as Ray and Ken, two Irish hitmen irreparably haunted by their past sins. Bruges is a location seemingly frozen in time and drowning in Catholic imagery, making it the perfect other-worldly setting for a weekend sightseeing trip through purgatory.

The beautiful Belgian middle-age city of Bruges sets the scene for this both humorous and stunning film about two assassins in their search for answers to ordinary, yet deeply existential questions. And then it of course treats ... sight-seeing! Oh and dwarves. One of the 00's best films in my opinion with a great pace, lovely scenery and a well-thought plot. Also, this is the film I've seen the most times in my life, reaching 13 or 14, I think! And it has Ralph Fiennes' role of a lifetime!

Like if scientists were to take a rollercoaster and somehow ignore the laws of engineering, gravity, things with molecular structure and successfully strap it on a much bigger and crazier rollercoaster. Just as things are well under way, with Irish hitmen and racist midgets, McDonagh introduces Fiennes and his fucked up moral code of assassins. That's when I raised my arms.

When a couple of mob hitmen botch a job in London, they are inexplicably instructed to hide out in the sleepy medieval Belgian town of Bruges, where a bunch of really funny shit happens. To describe much more of the plot would spoil the enjoyment, but know that in addition to having some gory action and a core of genuinely likeable and fully realized characters, the dialog is cleverly written and sharply delivered. Very good stuff.

Without a doubt the best British film since Children of Men, In Bruges is brilliantly written by McDonagh who also does a good job directing. The acting is good all around, with Fiennes, Gleeson and particularly Colin Farrell all delivering standout performances. Great and thrilling story that comes together very well. One of those films that is of perfect length and ends at precisely the right moment.

A black comedy packed with razor-sharp wit and excellent characters. Every character in this is fantastic and every actor is perfectly cast to their role. Anyone who doubts Colin Farrell can be excellent needs to see this movie (well this or Tideland) because he is stellar. I could go on and on but if I go into anymore detail I'll end up spoiling the movie, so I'll just end with it's amazing and if you like movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels see this.

It is quite a feat being funny and touching at the same time in a crime movie. I will definitely see the next McDonagh movie in cinema. Having lived in Dublin and being a resident of a Bruges-like continental European city, this film had a personal ring for me (except the contract killer part... of course). You expect excellence from Fiennes and Gleeson but this movie showed me Farrell could shine in the right setting too (man, I can't believe I just came out like that). Kudos to soundtrack too.

This movie just casually throws in a reference to Hieronymus Bosch and then expects you to understand the context of its finale from that. For that alone I like it. Though, it might have helped that I knew I was in for a pitch black comedy, rather than the "edgy, action-packed comedy filled with thrilling chases, spectacular shoot outs and an explosive ending you won't want to miss" that my DVD tried to sell it as. Whoever was responsible for advertising this should spend eternity in Bruges.

This is a really fun version of "Se7en." ... EDIT: I wrote this review over two years ago and I don't have a clue what it means. I see no connection between the two aside from possible latent homosexual attractions to Brad Pitt and Colin Farrell. But I don't even think I was aware of that two years ago. It's also like anything starring Orlando Bloom. Whoops.

Great script and good performances, particuarly from Fiennes and Gleeson. The mix of dark humour, blood, guts and emotion works well too, and on top of that it's really well shot. It's a bit of shame McDonagh spends so much time directing theatre and doesn't do more film work, as on this evidence he is clearly very talented.

A hard film to pin down because it varies its tones so wildly - child murder and suicidal angst make odd bedfellows with racist dwarves and portly tourists. But somehow it works, and despite a few missteps it feels fresh, funny, and always provocative. The way the film weaves in Brechtian imagery and existential dialogue into what could have been a simple crime feature is very impressive.

Colin Farrell scores big laughs in this interesting hitman action-comedy with a witty, playful script that's always on the brink of the outrageous, but never boiling over. Actually some might find it a bit boring, but I thought the characters and dialogue were so well-penned that I got wrapped up in the goofiness. Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes are also great here, and there's maybe a hint of a schizophrenic tone between the comedy and drama, but all-in-all, it's a pleasant surprise.

A very cleverly written, character-driven, at times farcical gangster film, In Bruges plays with your expectations toward its characters, constantly turning established stereotypes on the head and is thankfully one of the rare movies where you can't see the twists coming miles away. So it's full of surprises, it's noir, it's exciting, it's meditative, it's funny, it's visually stunning, and is superbly acted, with Gleeson, Fiennes and Farrell getting most of the good lines. Highly recommendable!

Really great movie, and one of the better dark comedies I've seen. It strikes a good balance of humor and more intense dramatic scenes. It's got a great slick style with the fantastic dialogue and acting, but it has substance underneath too. The casting is also perfect here, with a great show by Gleeson. Fiennes is menacing as hell, and this is probably the only movie I've seen in which I actually thought Farrell was great, but he really does play it perfectly here.Definitely recommended.

Exciting, funny, well-shot and certainly well written; In Bruges is one of the biggest surprises and one of the highest quality flicks you'll get to see so far this year. The advertising campaign makes this look like a style-over-substance action movie, but it has very little action and the style that's there is equally supported by the witty dialog. If you want to have some fun at the movies there really isn't anything better playing at the moment, so go see it. You won't be disappointed.

The McDonagh brothers both seem to nail dark comedy like no one else in the business, or at the very least they are up there. In Bruges is quite funny at times, but also doubles as a legit crime drama as well. Spoilers, but when the kid gets shot that is actually harrowing. So it ends up being more emotional than one might expect while also bringing the goods on the humour front. Gleeson is made for the McDonagh writing and while I don't like Farrell so much, he's charming here.

In Bruges is an impressive piece of filmmaking from Martin McDonagh and his overall direction and stellar writing together make this one of the biggest surprises of 2008. The collaboration of the compelling performances, entertaining characters and such witty and darkly amusing dialogue works masterfully. Colin Farrell hilariously gives his best performance in my opinion. Whilst Brendan Gleeson & Ralph Fiennes are both effortlessly impressive also. In Bruges is a satisfying and refreshing watch.

An awesome little film. One of those movies where the setting begins to feel more human than some of the characters. Farrell, Gleeson, and Fiennes are kick ass here and McDonagh has some good shots. My problems lie in the narrative which although is beautiful if not depressing and witty, can be predictable. Overall, In Bruges is a great time. A lot of witty humor and interesting characters and sequences.

A shockingly effective combination of sardonic humor and wistful melancholy. It manages to identify with both of its wildly different protagonists, eventually bridging the gap between Ray's embittered cynicism and Ken's dignified self-assurance. And it's rare to find a comedy that looks so pretty, though having a fucking fairytale city as your backdrop surely helps in that regard.

I was expecting something very different and was extremely pleased with what I actually got. The sharp dialogue has a Tarantino wit and bite and the black humor is sometimes reminiscent of the Coen Brothers; yet I feel these comparisons would be selling the film short because it's such an original and fresh piece of work. Excellent performances, characters, screenplay, everything.

On the comic side, there are a few clever bits but most of it is stuff from the same old bag of gags. It fares slightly better with the drama, although Farrell doesn't really go through a transformation so much as he keeps shifting between dick and swell guy. Even though I liked Gleeson's performance, the character feels manufactured. Also the ending is possibly the lamest example of dramatic irony I've ever seen. The cinematography and score are pretty good but otherwise I didn't dig this much.

This is clearly intended to be darkly comedic, but it's too often straddling the line between melodramatic emotion and absurdism to be effective on that front. Colin Farrell is good enough to keep things watchable, and Ralph Fiennes is nice but underused, and his performance more than adequately points out how confused the tone of the picture is. Ancillary plot elements like the dwarf are excessively shown merely for the point of a dumb punchline. Bruges is pretty, at the very least.

A dark, endlessly surprising comedy about two hit-men sent to Belgium for two weeks after a hit goes wrong. In Bruges features a plot that can't be predicted, but only relished. Very rarely does such a film appear that seems to happen as it goes along, driven by the peculiarities of the characters. Every element of the plot, including the ending, is determined by the ethical choices of the characters, and not simple plot requirements. Just watch it, already.

McDonagh's sharply written film is a fable/crime thriller that ends up being a complete joy from start to finish. Carefully drawing its characters, In Bruges boasts three extremely good performances from its three leads and many laugh-out-loud moments as well as careful, introspective ones. Carter Burwell's lovely, melancholic score and great editing is just icing on the cake of a great package. This is obviously not to be missed, enjoy!

Let my start by admitting that I am not a big Colin Farrell fan. Last time I saw any decent acting from him was in his sex tape! But that having been said, I have to admit that he is made for the part of a somewhat simple hitman. Whenever Farrell starts to slip up Brendan Gleeson is always there to pick up his slack. This is a small movie, but too much of a gem to be overlooked. The conversations between Farrell and Gleeson is the stuff dreams are made of. A great movie for a night on the couch.

The film is enjoyable, charged by a flinty wit and features a pair of winning lead performances by Gleeson and Farrell. It's also fairly inconsequential, structured with the shrewd storytelling insight of a seasoned dramatist but somewhat wanting in depth. None of the relationships have resonance, causing problems as the twists of the plot require some investment in the interpersonal dynamics or certain lingering histories.

I never thought I will like gangster movie so much. The atmosphere is incredible-the city of Bruges, the camera, and the music! And the acting is superb too. Yes, it is a fairy tale - gangsters like this are from world of fantasy. This is the reason, why I do not give more points-they are reserved for movies which bring me more "food for thought". Despite this-it is a great movie! Yes-it is somehow similar to Pulp Fiction, but it is better in my opinion. And finally - I want to see Bruges:)

Despite being billed as a comedy, this movie is also surprisingly serious. There are moments of absurb humor mixed in with soul searching type scenes; the characters in a stunningly depressing fashion realize the pointlessness of their violent profession. What's equally awesome is that the movie also manages to deal with heaven and hell and loyalty and honor, all with noticable skill. The cast also all deliver good performances, especially Farrell, who someday will get noticed by the Acadamy.

Not exactly intellectually challenging, but still manages to be truly original in both script and overall atmosphere. Very enjoyable.

Original and extremely funny. The dynamic between Farrell and Gleason, who are both hilarious, is key to its success.

Goddamn Farrell proving me wrong. This and Intermission are proof he should only play Irish characters though.

Brit-Gangster dark comedy that's a little bit darker than most (in a cerebral fashion, not so much violence). The whole cast is amazing, all the characters are likeable, and overall the movie is just hilarious (and actually touching when it needs to be). It really took me off guard how much I enjoyed this flick, and it's legitimately one of (if not the) best movies of 2008. Phenomenal effort, especially for someone's full length directorial debut.

Contains some bizarre plot holes, needs a few more action sequences and not enough of the offensive jokes are actually funny. But it does have some great moments. It just comes across as a poor man's "Snatch".

In Bruges is not an "art" film, but it is artful, and a cut above most other new thrillers. The script is so literate, twisty and crafty that I began to think that it probably is an adaptation of a play on Broadway. The director and screenwriter is Martin McDonagh, Tony nominee for "Best Play" four times, winner of the Critic's Circle Theatre Award for "Most Promising Playwright". In Bruges is his first feature-length film.

This film is not as clever as it thinks it is. The plot is rather contrived and far too neat, and the dialogue has sparkles of wit that somehow are never followed through upon. Good cinematography and great acting, but no real substance to back it up. Those who are not good enough to write Pulp Fiction should stop trying.

Very Good. Ita a tale of 2 british hitmen hiding out in the quaint liitle Belgian town of Bruges after a botched up assassination. All the characters are very well developed and acted, but Brendan Gleeson steals the movie away from under the noses of his big name co-stars, he acts brilliantly in this low-key drama and.... I really am at a loss for words, which isn't often :), he's that good and charming in this little gem, Just watch it for his performance.

This was a blast! A cross between PULP FICTION, BUTCH C. and the SUNDANCE KID, and OF MICE AND MEN... That's right, I referenced Steinbeck!

The rapport between the two actors is so good, and the comic moments so rich, that one almost forgets it is a movie about murders.

Beautiful looking, very funny, with excellent acting. The themes of religious trauma and the Don't Look Now references only add to a fantastic film. Some of the humour may not have aged well, but it makes perfect sense for the characters and therefore stops before becoming offensive.

You'll laugh and cry. The movie does a great job at balancing out its funny/quirky side with its dark/sad side. Overall, a phenomenal movie with a tense ending.

I laughed, and you can bet your sweet little ass I cried too. I would have liked it more if it had been more focused. Feels like scenes that would have added a lot were cut, while scenes that take away are left in. Too much surrealism delivering symbolism.

Sharply written and keenly acted; the three leads play off each other brilliantly. The tour de force finale is safe, but ultimately satisfying.
