In Bruges Review
In Bruges is the lasted British gangster comedy hitting the cinema screens. Collin
Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are hit men who have just completed a job. Having
killed a priest in London, the pair are instructed by their boss Ralph Riennes to hide
out in Bruges. Despite In Bruges being the cliché the dark comedy is combined with
serious issues as well as outrageous jokes.
Sitting in a full cinema, I would say only 60% found the film funny. If you are easily
offended it would not be the best film to see. In Bruges has guns, blood, a girl and
humour that not only makes jokes of people's disabilities but also nationality. I
personally enjoyed the film but would definitely say it is more suited for males!
The scenes of the Bruges are beautiful and from this film I would really consider
visiting. Collin Farrell, bored and restless from being forced to stay in a quiet dull
town in Belgium is probably the best bit of this film. In comparison, his partner
Brendan Gleeson enjoys the sightseeing and the strong contrasts between the
characters mean that the comedy is enjoyable.
In Bruges, being an 18 indicates what you can expect. If you like guns and blood, this
film is for you. The main downside of this film is that too much time is taken on the
build up to the main action, meaning that the film appears to lack plot. Although it
must be said that the plot is certainly not predictable. Collin Farrell and his co-star
Brendan Gleeson are fantastic, their scary gangster boss, Ralph Riennes also gives
a good performance. The character of Ray (Collin Farrell), experiences drugs,
prostitutes, mugging and of course a shootout. Clémence Poésy, who plays Chloë,
provides the last element to make this film a success. Not only is she gorgeous but
also adds more humour and depth.
Overall I would recommend In Bruges to those who think they will enjoy it! It is
probably not a film that girls would like but it is worth it just for Collin Farrell! I
personally was able to see beyond the cruel, gruesome humour and see Bruges as a
quiet beautiful town. There have been complaints however, that in In Bruges, Bruges
is portrayed in an inaccurate way.
ENJOY!
