In Bruges is absolutely, positively wonderful! It is dark and funny and tragic and violent and irreverent and reverent. In Bruges is the kind of movie I wish I had thought up. Ralph Finnes, Brendan Gleeson (one of my all time favorite, older actors), and- surprisingly enough- Colin Farrell are all magnificent. Furthermore, up until In Bruges I would have argued that Farrell could NOT act; that all the man seemed to amount to was bedroom eyes and freakishly bushy eyebrows. I was wrong. Farrell can act, and he proves it time and time and time again in In Bruges.
(On a completely unavoidable side note I, your humble narrator, have actually been "in Bruges". Lovely village, with a plethora of good beer.)
Suffice it to say, In Bruges gets a FOUR COURSE MEAL review.
