DVD Reviews of In Bruges
DVD Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like the humor of two Irish lads, mixed in with the beautiful scenery of Bruges, then this is for you. "In Bruges" is a very fun and entertaining movie to watch.DVD Review: I'd Love to be ordered to go to Bruges
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a terrific film. As others have said, a Irish gangster/hitman is ordered to kill a priest but also kills a young boy about to take communion. The shooter and his mentor are both ordered to go to Bruges and lay low for 2 weeks. I won't tell you much more that that as I don't want to give the story/plotline away. There are several interesting characters who popup seeming incidental but our protagonists keep bumping the people and some of these people become unknowingly complicit in a web of death. Nice twist of karma at the very end that you should see coming based on an earlier scene.
The telephone call from Henry to George is just hilarious when Henry begins talking romantically about his memories and what a fairy-tale place it is all the while dropping "F" bombs every three or words. THIS is how swearing should be used in screen writing. In most films, this much swearing is over the top and detracts from the character. Here, the screen writer used the "F" for to colorful perfection.
I wouldn't call this a comedy film, it's more like an English gangster film with some funny bits it in. I recommend In Bruge to anyone who likes great story writing and good character development. The cinematography is very good too!
DVD Review: Decent enough movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Not much to say about this movie, it's a simple and smooth character driven dark comedy (you may miss some of the comedy lines because they are "quirky"). Decent enough though, really good performance by the two lead actors, especially Colin Farrell, I didn't know he could really act (create a real robust thinking and feeling character). Meh, this is worth watching once.DVD Review: What a gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I've watched this movie several times and tonight once again. Heck, I even visited Bruges recently partly because of this film. It's amazingly good. I appreciate movies that work on all levels...clever script, beautiful filming, amazing performances, great soundtrack. Throw in a message or two and you've got a movie that easily passes my "do I want to watch it again and again?" test. The atmosphere of Bruges itself is as vital an element as anything. Five stars.DVD Review: Hitmen on hiatus - a cleverly written, beautifully shot, dark comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
After bungling their latest job, two London-based hitmen are sent to the much quieter city of Bruges, Belgium to await instruction. Ray is a cocky young gun, who can't relax and can't stand Bruges and can't wait to get away. Ken is older and wiser, and wishes he could stay longer to take in the atmosphere and history of this medieval city. Of course, initial impressions of this odd couple turn out to be incomplete, and things aren't going to work out quite like anyone wants, and the quaint city starts to get pretty crazy. The real fun here is the cleverness of the dialogue, and the beautifully captured delights of the city don't hurt either. It's a small, and fairly simple film, well told and clear, and worth watching. Nothing profound here, but solidly entertaining, with shades of Tarantinoesque dialogue and Ritchie-esque stylings.
Description of In Bruges
Colin Farrell and Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes star in this edgy, action-packed comedy, filled with thrilling chases, spectacular shoot-outs and an explosive ending you won't want to miss!Hit men Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson, Harry Potter) have been ordered to cool their heels in the storybook city of Bruges (it's in Belgium) after finishing a big job. But since hit men make the worst tourists, they soon find themselves in a life & death struggle of comic proportions against one very angry crime boss (Fiennes)!
Get ready for the outrageous and unpredictable fun you will have In Bruges, the movie critics are calling, "wildly entertaining" - Stephen Rebello, Playboy.
The considerable pleasures of In Bruges begin with its title, which suggests a glumly self-important art film but actually fits a rattling-good tale of two Irish gangsters "keepin' a low profile" after a murder gone messily wrong. Bruges, the best-preserved medieval town in Belgium, is where the bearlike veteran Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and newbie triggerman Ray (Colin Farrell) have been ordered by their London boss to hole up for two weeks. As the sly narrative unfolds like a paper flower in water, "in Bruges" also becomes a state of mind, a suspended moment amid centuries-old towers and bridges and canals when even thuggish lives might experience a change in direction. And throughout, the viewer has ample opportunity to consider whose pronunciation of "Bruges" is more endearing, Gleeson's or Farrell's. The movie marks the feature writing-directing debut of playwright Martin McDonagh, whose droll meditation on sudden mortality, Six Shooter, copped the 2005 Oscar for best live-action short. Although McDonagh clearly relishes the musicality of his boyos' brogue and has written them plenty of entertaining dialogue, In Bruges is no stageplay disguised as a film. The script is deceptively casual, allowing for digressions on the newly united and briskly thriving Europe, and annexing passers-by as characters who have a way of circling back into the story with unanticipatable consequences. That includes a film crew--shooting a movie featuring, to Ray's fascination, "a midget" (Jordan Prentice)--and a fetching blond production assistant (Cl?mence Po?sy) whose job description keeps evolving. There's one other key figure: Harry, the Cockney gang boss whose omnipotence remains unquestioned as long as he remains offscreen, back in England, as if floating in an early Harold Pinter play. Harry has reasons inextricably tender and perverse for selecting Bruges as his hirelings' destination, and eventually he emerges from the aether to express them--first as a garrulous telephone voice and then in the volatile form of Ralph Fiennes. By that point the charmed moment of suspension, already shaken by several irruptions of violence, is pretty well doomed. But In Bruges continues to surprise and satisfy right up to the end. --Richard T. Jameson
