Collin Ferrell and Brendan Gleeson in "In Bruges".
In Bruges, is about two contract killers, Ray (Collin Ferrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are sent to the city of Bruges to do one assignment. Before that, they are told to wait for the instructions from their employer, Harry (Ralph Fiennes). While waiting for the instructions, they spent their time by visiting the historical place nearby. Ray doesn't like historical place and he is no idea why he came here. Other than that, he felt guilty for accidentally killed a kid in previous mission. There, he also has a romantic story with Chloe (Clemence Poesy). They both have a great experience in meeting local peoples, culture and so on (Of course in a bad way). After the phone call from Harry, their vacation totally change to a life and death struggle that they don't want to have. This movie is directed by Martin McDonagh, and this is a great film. This movie has a lot of dark humor which make you laugh from the beginning until the ending. Martin McDonagh done a great job in the plot progression and the script. The plot progress are very great which is unpredictable and sometimes slow. This movie has a great script which is funny and sometimes stupid, it makes you laugh until you won't care about the story telling. It won't let you feel this film is bored or tedious. It has a lot of surprises in every minutes of the running time, and sprinkled a lot of humor between Ray and Ken. Besides that, there is also a few part which is quite touching, and it shows that even they are a hitman they're still a human who can think, and have feelings. There is also a few shootout and a few blood and gore. Other than that, the acting in this film are remarkably great especially Colin Ferrell. He is a great and talented actor, he has potential acting in many kinds of character. I admire his acting in "Alexander", "Daredevil" and "Minority Report" which is very unique. In this film, you can feel his acting are reaching in a high gear. He provides a great energy and sense of humor to this film and people around him. This is one of his best film in his career. All I can say is "Wow!". This movie really deliver a great energy to the audiences with a great acting and sense of humor. This is one of the best film in 2008 so far.
