I started watching "In Bruges" at about 12:30 last night. I was a little too nervy and I thought I would watch for ten minutes before dropping off to sleep.
The next thing I knew, I had a lump in my throat and a rictus-smile on my face and the time was 2:30 am. Yup, this one is a fabulous movie with top notch performances by Colin Farrell, Brendon Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. But, Colin Farrell was, for me, the revelation in this movie. He plays the over-confident, contrite, inncocent and brash Irish hitman brilliantly. Ralph Fiennes as a menacing London Gangster is awesome as always. His lines, delivered with a truck-load of expletives, are hilarious. They could've shown more of Bruges though. All in all, a brilliant movie. You can watch the movie again just for the accents and the dialogue....
