In Bruges

Not a fun movie. The comedy is lost often in the heavy accents. Too much shooting and blood. How is this primarily billed as a comedy???

Get ready for the outrageous and unpredictable fun you will ever have in Bruges, the movie critics are calling "wildy entertaining"

That's what it says on the back of the DVD case. I really can't imagine who would call this movie "fun". Depressing, pointless, poorly made, poorly written. All of those things. But "fun"?

"A life-and-death struggle of comic proportions"... I can't imagine who would find this movie "comic". This is what I expected when I rented it. The trailers shown in the theater leads you to believe that it is a comedy. This impression results from the fact that they packed every funny scene in the movie into the trailer. The rest of the movie is bleak, terrible and pointless. If you like pointless Dutch films, then "In Bruges" is for you. For the rest of us, give this terrible film a pass. What a horrid waste of time. I want my 107 minutes back. The only reason I made it all the way through the film was that I was too stunned to believe that a film that was promoted as a comedy could really, really be this bleak and terrible.

Don't pay attention to any of the "canned" blurbs about this movie. It is about as far from a comedy as you can get. Its a very dark film with some comedic moments and a warped sense of irony. In the end, it tells an old story... bad people, no matter how charming or repentant, still are bad people.

Just watched this last night on dvd.... I enjoyed this artsy, quirky film immensely and enjoyed that it kept me laughing at unexpected moments with its dark humor! The acting, storyline and the dark comedy on the whole makes "In Bruges" an excellent movie to watch...

Must say that "In Bruges" is also a refreshing change of pace in terms of movies that are the usual slapstick comedies that get old to watch after a while!

This movie was excellent! Both funny and dramatic. If you like European films, you will love this. We had a great time watching it. Would recommend to anyone!
