Just got back from seeing. What a great little film. Not a fan of Farrell's at all, but I thought this was his best performance ever. And it was great seeing Ralph Fiennes again. All three leads, including Brendan Gleeson were terrific. As was the screenplay. Will definitely pick this up on DVD. And will probably be on my year end best of '08 list. Rating 9.5/10.

I guess I'll have to give it a shot. The title, poster and trailer all annoyed me monumentally.

I almost started a thread for this one the other day, so I'm happy to see it pop up. I loved the trailer, love the poster, so I'm really looking forward to it.

It's not a big shock, and totally expected, but Brian gave it a bad review here at DVDTalk.

Right now it's sitting at 71% on RT, and 8.1 at IMDB.

Roger Ebert gave it a very positive four-star review:

I can't wait!

Looking forward to this...looks hilarious. I was in Bruges back in 2000, so when I saw this trailer, I knew I had to see the movie. It's a cool little place, so I hope the movie isn't too mean to it.

First, to DonnachaOne, sure the title is kind of like "Ratatouille". They have to tell you how to pronounce it. Which is a little annoying. But if it weren't for the trailer, I would have never gone. And I love the poster. I might even buy it. And Merkin, the film is almost a Valentine to Bruges. I went across the street from the theater afterwards to a Barnes and Noble and bought a travel book on Bruges. I'll be in the U.K. this December and because of the movie and the beautiful shots of the city, I'm going to go during that trip. It's only a 2.5 train ride on the Eurostar.

This movie was hilarious. 4.5 stars.

This is the first paragraph of the review on worstpreviews.com:

The Bruges Chamber of Commerce should be delighted with at least part of Martin McDonagh's film In Bruges, as it provides an unprecedented and absolutely ravishing look at the architecture of this gorgeous Belgian town that appears to have been dropped into the 21st century from a pristine, fairy-tale version of the Middle Ages. They should be happy as a good number of people, after seeing the film, will be tempted to hop on the next flight to the little jewel box of a medieval village, all canals and pristinely preserved Gothic architecture.

Never heard of this movie, had to look it up at imdb. May check it out if it ever comes out here. I'm one of the few that thinks Colin Farrell is a pretty good actor.

The trailer looked funny. Not out in my neck of the woods (yet).

You will love this movie if you like the Jules/Vincent part of Pulp Fiction as well as movies like Snatch/Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And The Bourne Identity/Ronin for the setting (European).

I've wanted to see this for months. I love the trailer/poster, but I read that the movie's marketing campaign is deceiving. Is this true?

Well, if you mean that it's a straight up comedy. No, it's not. Very hard to describe the film. There are some very serious moments. And some very graphic scenes.

Exactly - the trailer makes it out to be an actioncomedy and this columnist that I read said that is not the case at all (he loved it by the way).

I hadn't heard of this until I opened the paper on Friday and saw an ad for it... will check it out sometime this week, looks good!

Man, Colin Farrell is turning up in every other flick again. That dude must always be working.

This was one great film. Colin Farrell is outstanding. Although the city they were in was beautiful, Colin Farrell verbally trashes the hell out of it all through the film. The ending slightly confused me...is it a you your imagination ending or can someone send me a message and let me know how it ended in there view?

ditto.

-NiCK

It ended the way you think it did. Remember, the camera went up.

BTW, the only thing I didn't like about the movie was the length of time it took Fiennes to come down from the tower. In order to have the scene where Farrell and Gleeson talk. My friend said to me "How the hell long are those stairs anyway??".

Collin Farrell is refreshingly funny, but Gleeson steals the show. This movie opened in Toronto on Feb 8th but I got a peak at a screened at work (this is Canada) and although I was only going to watch for a minute... The chemistry between Gleeson and Farrell is really good and so I sat down for a minute…


I ended up watching the whole film and even shedding a tear at the end. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Gleeson's work... his role of 'Ken' in this movie reminds me of Skipper on Gilligan's Island for some reason... and in fact Collin would be Gilligan if you can imagine that...

Ralph Fiennes is absolutely brilliant - he makes the third act dynamic so it propels to its horrible conclusion - which is a big surprise.



My favorite line is when Brendan Gleeson says 'Two mangy prostitutes and a racist dwarf, I'm out of here.'

I can honestly say that anyone who sees this movie will like Collin Farrell again and probably become a big fan of Brendan Gleeson.

Ha ha. Another viral marketer.

I seen this the other night, and I can't remember laughing so hard in recent memory. I'm usually not a Collin Ferrell fan, but he was really good in this. It had a good mix of comedy and drama. Highly recommended.

along the lines of 'Intermission' this one?...

i own that...

"You scummy fucka"... hilarious...

i'll be seeing this one then for sure...

didn't you see 'Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang'?...

they have to go to great lengths just to keep his salary down...

Huh!? Farrell wasn't in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang".

did you see the movie?...

the entire reason for Downey being brought out to LA was to lower Colin Farrell's salary on a film...

Saw the movie. Wasn't very memorable for me. Don't remember that part at all. I actually didn't like the film.
