chagir Nice movie very touching story

Very nice movie. The movie is about the life of 2 assassins and how one of them repents over killing a little boy by mistake. The story starts off really really slow... but peaks with emotions. Overall a good watch but it might be a little slow.
Stellar Colin Farrell

A movie that consist of the sterotypical "dimwitted, violent, classless" Americans being made fun of by...ummm... two dimwitted, violent, classless Europeans (of course this irony is lost on Europeans). Quite original for a Euro-flick me thinks.<---sarcasm>... Full review

Very funny, visually quite stunning, well acted. I do find myself a little incredulous at the idea of hitmen with such deep morality. It seems to me to be a bit unsophisiticated to make them so likeable. However, they are likeable,... Full review

I rented this movie because I was in a hurry and didn't have time to browse. I don't much care for Colin Farrell's acting. (It would be nice to see him do something other than a dark, brooding Irish fellow.) However,... Full review

I liked this movie alot, especially the acting of Colin Farrel. In fact, both actors were terrific. The story is haunting, and the feel of the movie was dead-on in that respect. Colin's eyes are amazing, they tell you everything. I... Full review

If you are sensitive to americans being portrayed as large mouthed fools you might want to pass on this one. If not, it is good fun, and the background is a character. I mean how can you go wrong with Colin... Full review

A magnificant surreal amalgamation of action, comedy, and art. This film encorperated the best performance of both Collin Farrell's, and Ray Fines's careers. To say anything more than the fact that this is the best movie of all time would be... Full review

However, Martin McDonagh pulls off this potent mix of styles and blends them to create the very fine "In Bruges", which he has not only directed but also written. Gleeson's character Ken enjoys soaking in the culture and antiquity of Bruges, which apparently is "the most well-preserved medieval city in Belgium". ... Full Review

Another interesting aspect of this movie is the dialogue.....The brilliant script has two formidable actors in the form of Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson fleshing out the characters.....The chemistry between them is believable....The actors do complete justice to a fine script..... ...
