A great plot, but it moves in a very slow way.
In Bruges Reviews and Ratings

November 29, 2009Wow. Just wow. One of the most beautiful, and at the same time, funny, films I've ever seen... Just amazing. =D
-
November 28, 2009Since 2003, I have been a HUGE hater of Colin Farrell. And that's an understatement. I refused to watch anything with him in it and if I did every time I saw his face, my hand would go up to the screen to cover his face. When he was in magazines, I would scribble the hell out of ...( read more)
-
November 25, 2009A very funny, and in someplaces, quite an emotional film. Seeing this makes me think that Farrell should do a lot more comedic roles, because he's just on eof those actors i can never take seriously, however i think this character suited him perfectly, and i really hope he survived.
-
November 24, 2009In Bruges had a drastically different atmosphere overall and even the fans of the genre could not perceive it. Those who could are complaining about the whole film except for Farrell's exceptional performance and the climax. The city of Belgium is used as an environmentally gothi...( read more)

November 18, 2009This film so near rises above the level of just an intelligent rollercoaster ride, so damn near. A real shame. Only a few strokes could have sealed the deal. But even in falling short, it does so in a genuinely spectacular fashion with quite a lot going for it.
-
November 18, 2009Loved this from start to finish. Superb acting, great plot, and some great dark humour. Recommend this to anyone.
-
November 17, 2009One of the best this year. It's absurdly funny, but also knows when to be serious. Colin Farrell gave a really good performance, hopefully he'll stop doing shitty blockbuster types and stick to good acting jobs. I loved how much he hated Bruges and never missed a chance to call i...( read more)

November 15, 2009This film is amazing. I can't tell you how many times i've watched it and can still crack up at its many dark, dark humor moments.

(mi manca Bruges e vederla in un film mi ha fatto uno strano effetto. non mi aspettavo un film del genere, sono rimasta piacevolmente colpita. ma la musica trash durante l'inseguimento potevano evitarla ç_ç) -
November 10, 2009A really enjoyable watch. The dialogue is great with plenty of funny lines. The story-line is easy enough to follow without being tedious. In fact, it remains engaging throughout. Colin Farrell is the star of this film with his witty remarks and likable ways. Brendan Gleeson and ...( read more)

October 30, 2009Mad-Eye Moody, Fleur Delacour, and Lord Voldemort -- all assembled again for a magical movie. Excellent. I kept thinking that Gleeson would fly at the end. Sadly, both he and my hopes for his miraculous salvation sunk equally as fast as the pull of gravity.
Can there ever b

October 30, 2009Exceptional humor and dialogue. The first half is flawless, the second half ruins the fun a bit, but not completely.
-
October 29, 2009Much, much better than I expected. In Bruges is not another action-comedy that sucks the life out of a genre established by Quentin Tarantino. This is a well-paced, sharply written character piece that integrates elements of black comedy and bleak tragedy. The acting all around i...( read more)

October 23, 2009I actually watched this right after I left Bruges. It was crazy to see the places I had been. I thought it was pretty good, but like had a random unexpected ending that I don't think was great.

October 20, 2009Ray: "After I killed him, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off me hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter the instructions came through - "Get the fuck out of London, you dumb fucks. Get to Bruges." I di...( read more)

October 13, 2009This is an amazing film. For those who enjoy subtle humor with a great story and dark undertone, I highly recommend this movie. Brilliant performances by all the characters. Definitely one of the underdogs of 2008.
-
October 8, 2009In Bruges is a strange film. Often seen as comedy and I suppose it is but it is very black. When this film is funny, it is so darkly funny but it takes a strange twist and you find yourself watching an intense thriller with powerful and emotional drama underlying it.
Full of f...( read more) -

October 1, 2009What a refreshing surprise! This is one of the only films I've seen where the label 'Dark Comedy' is actually really fitting. I really liked it, in fact, it?s now got to be one of my favourite films! The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star film is that Ralph Fiennes is...( read more)
-
September 24, 2009Original entertaining film set in Bruges, which is a Belgian town. As a Belgian it's enjoyable to see a good film set in a familiar background.
-
-
September 20, 2009What happens when two hitmen have to lay low for a while in a city no one has ever heard of. They have to find ways to spend their time and deal with personal issues. I would identify this film as a black comedy drama. Collin Farrell gives one of his best performances to date, Br...( read more)
-
September 19, 2009A smart, witty, very funny and boundry pushing thriller, wraps up alot of what you'd like to see in a film and doesn't stick to the conventional plot points of other thrillers. Fast paced, excellent exchanges and a thrilling ending that you won't see coming.
-
September 18, 2009Bloody Hilarious at some points, and yet very much not so in others.
It is a fairytale insofar that the love match works out well.
The film while essentially about nothing is still quite entertaining.
And i liked the town; much better than the crappy cities in australia.

September 9, 2009Really great black comedy!!! Great performances by all!!! Highly recommend if you like you're dark comedies!!!

-
September 7, 2009Dark humour, violent and aimed squarely at the cult market. I left the theatre with an unpleasant taste in my mouth thanks to the third act, but I'll admit that some of the comic parts have stayed with me for a few days.

September 2, 2009If you are looking for a good shoot 'em up movie, this is the one. There is some really good humor too.

August 28, 2009nice story play..
"you've gotta stick to you principle"
"I really really hoped I wouldn't die"
in the end, he wanna stay alive~ -
August 26, 2009Amazing. A movie like this should probably be terrible, but it isn't. At all. It's brilliant! I love Colin Farrell, who was absolutely stupendous and hilarious, especially when high on coke. I also adore the last lines of the film, which probably amount to my favorite movie quote...( read more)

August 26, 2009O que falar? foge totalmente dos estereotipados filmes de assassinos, você se apega a um ator que mata uma criança, torce por ele, ri dos diálogos e ainda cria um desafeto pelo chata e pacata bruges. Assistam.
-
August 26, 2009A refreshingly unpredictable, darkly comic and curiously haunting odyssey of two hit men, the film is a mercurial amalgam of genres and emotions set in an appropriately strange, archaic fairy-tale city. It enjoys observing their rapport and unfolds from the conflicting attitudes ...( read more)
-
August 24, 2009Brilliant! Very dark comedy that hit practically every note (except the romance--which I found boring). Colin Farrell was fantastic. His mannerisms and facial expressions remind me of my brother so much in this movie! Brendan Gleeson is wonderful, as always. I enjoyed Ralph Fienn...( read more)

August 21, 2009Politically incorrect humour, in Belgium, with violence. Features Ralph Fiennes as Ben Kingsley
