in bruges

Advantages: wonderful acting, good story and great scene variation, nice town also
Disadvantages: the ending was predictable based on characterisation

in bruges cast director - martin Mcdonagh ken - brendan gleeson ray ? colin farrell rhloe - clemence poesy jimmy jordan prentice harry ralph fiennes this film was martin mcdonagh's first film, though he had previously made a short film called ?six shooter's? a few years earlier. i remember seeing six shooters on film four, and it would not surprise me to see this film one day on the same channel. the structures of these two films are similar, the plots are known fairly quickly and the acting is really good. using trains and train platform scenes also took place in both films. the one thing i question is the originality of in bruges as crime and shooting films are nothing new. set in bruges, a picturesque medieval town in Belgium. during the film we get to see the canals, the views ...

Review of In Bruges (DVD)

Where the bloody hell is Bruges?

Advantages: An ok film, makes you think
Disadvantages: A bit slow

Where the bloody hell is Bruges? In Bruges is a 2008 comedy staring Colin Farrell (phrowaaaa) and Brendan Gleeson. When I read it was a comedy I was interested to see it because I think Colin Farrell is quite funny anyway so I thought it would be quite good,. I didn?t know much about the plot but as it also got an award I had high hopes. Well, it?s probably best described as a dark comedy. It sort of reminded me of a Lock, Stock type funny film with the same type of London gangster laughs and get-ups. The main themes running through the movie are that are guilt, morality and redemption and it?s done well. In my opinion you do get to see some real emotion from the main stars and that they are really thinking about where they find themselves in their life. I didn?t love this movie though because I thought it was quite slow and not ...

Review of In Bruges (DVD)

Maybe that's what Hell is - an eternity spent in Bruges!

Advantages: Great script, well shot and directed, good performances, un-PC
Disadvantages: Slightly too contrived ending

When a 'job' goes drastically wrong for two hitmen sent to kill a priest, the two hitmen in question, Ken and Ray, are sent off by their mobster boss Harry to camp out in a hotel in Bruges until the chaos has blown over. Ken (Brendan Gleeson) decides to take the opportunity to soak up the culture in this 'fairytale' city, but Ray (Colin Farrell) is less impressed with being dragged around Bruges tourist attractions, declaring Bruges a 'shithole'. However, when they come across a film set with a rather attractive crew member, Ray decides that maybe there is something worth seeing in Bruges after all. However, while Ray is out on his date, Ken receives a phone call from Harry with a set of instructions he is not prepared for... All in all, this doesn't sound like the most action packed film you've ever seen, and those looking for thrills ...
