In Bruges
In Bruges takes place in a Belgian town famous for medieval architecture. Two Irish hit men find themselves there on the lam having just capped a priest on a job that went terribly wrong for Harry, their London boss played by Ralph Fiennes. Colin Farrell is Ray the pugnacious gunman who will duke it out with absolutely anyone be it women, dwarfs or Canadians. Ken the other more refined trigger man is played by Brendan Gleeson – not as pretty or well known as Farrell and Fiennes but twice the actor (and both of those guys are really good!). In case you haven’t guessed by now this is a comedy and one of the most hysterically fully ones you’ll ever see if you like black humour graphically splattered with blood. Ken quite enjoys the sightseeing but Ray can’t wait to get back to drinking and fighting back home – that is until he is enchanted by one of the locals. But why Bruges? Well it turns out Harry has another job for them on the continent but when Ken’s conscience gets the better of him Harry has to book a trip the Belgium to take care of his own dirty work. Here we are only in February and In Bruges is already on my top 10 list for 2008.
