In Bruges



Shoot First. Sightsee Later.

Jacket:
"Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes star in this edgy, action-packed comedy, filled with thrilling chases, spectacular shootouts and an explosive ending you won't want to miss!

Hit men Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) 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-and-death struggle of comic proportions against one very angry boss (Fiennes)!"

Chicago Sun Times film critic Roger Ebert gave the film high praise and a 4 out of 4 star rating, saying, "This film debut by the theater writer and director Martin McDonagh is an endlessly surprising, very dark, human comedy, with a plot that cannot be foreseen but only relished."

This is pretty funny. Definitely rental-worthy.
