Review of In Bruges (2008) by Kim S — 04 Apr 2012

I got half way through this film and was called away for three days by a family matter. To the writer/director, Martin McDonagh's credit, I thought about this film several times while I was away and all the possible ending scenarios.

I can usually nail a plot pretty fast. I'm glad to report that I got to finish it and it had several surpriZes. Not happy birthday-like surpriZes... more like "that was gruesomely surpriZing".

Well, what did we think we'd get with guns on the front cover? C'mon! I have to say that it's great to see Ralph Fiennes in solid human form after his role as Lord Voldemort (a terrifying character) AND Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody both in the Harry Potter film series together (which they ROCK).

I think Colin Ferrell was perfectly casted with these two great actors. All three brought a sad and semi-twisted story to us with ease of flow & finesse. I have to mention the AWESOME BEAUTY of the location where they shot this film.

.. Brugge. LOL.
