In Bruges

In Bruges is probably this year's most under-rated film. Although humorous at times, this is a serious film of a developing friendship, a budding romance, and tragedy. The actors are superb and the location is perfect. A real 'must see' movie and deserving of an Academy Award (or several).

Anyone who likes Colin Farrel will love this movie. It is a very dark comedy film that takes place in Belgium. About a hit man who botches a job. I recommend to everybody. You have to see it.

The acting is good. The pacing is great. Bruges is beautiful. The language is atrocious. The dialog is ok. The movie is about miserable people, living with the morally bad choices they've made, knowing that life should be better than what they are experiencing. What I like about the movie is that the two main characters take responsibility for the bad choices they've made. They don't have any solutions, but they are willing to take responsibility. Fiennes character is wonderfully strange. I'm not sure this is every one's cup of tea, but I was smiling through out.

One of the key scenes is when Fiennes character confronts a character that Farrel's character roughed up. Fiennes points out that it is his own fault so he should stop whining. One of the main themes of the movie is how the characters define duty and responsibility in a morally ambiguous environment.

One of the films I have enjoyed most lately. Absolutely great dialogues (totally un-politically correct), Ralph Fiennes is great as a cockney gangster, and, surprise!, Colin Farrel can act.

Made me google Jordan Prentice at once (the "midget" who is all the times doped with horse tranquilizer).

Be sure and watch it with the subtitles turned on...all the lines are funny but the accents are heavy. Fun movie with surprise ending.
