June 24th, 2008In Bruges
This was a weird movie for a few reasons. The first reason is that it’s an action movie, but yet it has a lot of emotion in it as well. Men crying and shooting in the same movie. The same men crying are shooting, actually. That’s not something you see much of in these types of movies.
The comedy is also really twisted and great. The somewhat subtle hints of anti-Americanism is pretty funny too. Gotta love the British and Europeans really, don’t you?
The characters are all really great. No boring or annoying actors in this one. My only complaint was that the story was a bit drab, and could have used a bit of a pick-me-up at some point, to keep things a little more active.
You really start to feel for the characters in the movie. Well, in particular one named Ray, played by Colin Farrell. He is so damn cute in this movie too. I just love everything about him! From his accent, to his looks, to his dirty mouth and stubbly face.










I managed to get someone to see this movie with me. I see Colin play an American so often, I forget about the accent. It was kinda different, and I agree that it could have used a little pick-me-up somewhere, but I thought the ending was appropriate. Snaps for In Bruges!
I loved In Bruges. I mean really…any movie where a midget gets karate chopped in the face is thumbs up in my books.
LOL! Ya that was hilarious.
