In Bruges

After completing a job in England, two hit men played by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are told to take a two week leave of absence in Bruges, Belgium. The older hit man wants to enjoy the time off in the slow paced town, but the younger hit man can't stand being in the most medieval town in Europe.

In Bruges is a really good film. The plot has drama, comedic under-tones, and a surprisingly amount of effective suspense. Ralph Fiennes plays the boss of the 2 hit men. It won't happen, but he deserves an Oscar nomination. He is a great actor and gives his all in his portrayal as a frustrated ruthless killer/boss. In Bruges was released earlier this year and only found modest success on the indy film circuit. You would be well served to check it out as a DVD rental. Jamie says "8".

The film was directed by Martin McDonagh. He also wrote the screenplay. If this is an indication of projects to come...I will look forward to his future offerings.
