jack-mahoney-141 Dark humor, lovable, tortured characters, witty dialogue, tear-inducing drama. It's cliche but this is my favorite movie of all time, so far. Also check out The Guard and Seven Psychopaths for other films by this director.

jennamoquin I watched this movie after seeing a YouTube video about movies with hidden meanings. It mentioned that In Bruges was a metaphor for purgatory, or hell, and I was intrigued. I wasn't disappointed. This was one of the best dark comedies I've ever seen. Funny, witty, intensely dark and harrowing, and I never knew what to expect. My favorite character in the movie was Ken (played well by Brendan Gleeson), the older hitman who we find out halfway through is a widower (still wearing his ring, and still mourning his late wife). The major theme in the movie is the gray areas of morality, and how there can be honor among thieves, or in this case hitmen.

ratedkitty This is a great film. The characters are brilliantly acted and written. Even the characters with little screen time have so much subtleties and mannerisms that I loved. Martin McDonoughs first feature film, and a great one at that. It will have you thinking about it days after you finish it.If you mostly watch big budget action movies. (which is fine there's no shame in it), and you haven't seen many other types of movies, I would highly recommend you see this, or if you just love film in general check it out on YouTube... someone literally uploaded the entire thing. Just watch it now, what your doing isn't more important. Ya dickhead

benkitching13 Quite simply, In Bruges is a consistently hilarious dark comedy accompanied by a wonderful performance from Farrell and satisfactory performances from the supporting cast. Additionally, the film transitions competently between comedic and serious moments, and has a number of appreciated (though not entirely unanticipated) plot twists. In Bruges is undoubtedly funnier than any of McDonagh's more recent work, but lacks the standout moments of Psychopaths.
