This movie was WONDERFUL. Very twisted, a little gory, quite surreal in spots, but marvelous nonetheless. Brendan Gleeson's quiet nobility (as a hit-man!) was sublime. Gleeson was a great foil, and it was also great to see Ralph Fiennes play a mush-mouthed hood. I'm used to seeing him in films like The Constant Gardener or The English Patient. This departure from those roles had me grinning from ear to ear as I watched.
Colin Farrell, though, was truly magnificent. He played his role to the hilt. His childish affectations and facial expressions were such a treat. Regardless of how dark this film was, I laughed out loud many times.
The supporting cast were all excellent, and the city of Bruges was a beautiful backdrop. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and two enthusiastic thumbs up. Watch this film. It's delightful.
