Review of In Bruges

In Bruges (2008)
9/10
A great movie
30 March 2008
I saw this movie yesterday. After reading the reviews here I thought that I am going to see a crime comedy, similar to that of Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Its not. Its a drama with comic reliefs, and I am not sure whether overusing "Fu*king" and "Bruges is a sh*t hole" is that funny or just suppose to ease the tension that the movie would have imposed on the audience otherwise. With that said, I really enjoyed the movie. It got a Tarantino like dialog, though its not a rip off. It has a beautiful setting of Bruges and I enjoyed Hieronymus Bosch references. Colin Farrell's performance is amazing and plot is interesting. There are few movies which I will think about months after watching them and I think this will be one of these movies.
