The Tagline for this movie titled "Shoot now Sightsee later" sums up the entire blend of dark comedy and melodramatic drama this movie so elegantly delivers. The lineup of Colin Farrell (Miami Vice), Brendan Gleeson (Braveheart) and Ralph Fiennes (Red Dragon) is just brilliant and the chemistry between all actors is the reason this film plays out so well. The story which revolves around two hitmen who are sent to Bruges in Belgium after a hit goes horribly wrong. The hideout in Bruges is not as simple as both men may think and the chaos which they get caught up is truly hilarious whether it be doing cocaine with midgets or being caught up in a case of mistaken identity. The Boss who has sent them there (Fiennes) is a truly evil asshole yet his character is somehow funny which is why this is a perfect blend of dark comedy and intense drama which director Martin McDonagh (Six Shooter) seems to be better and better at creating. The performance of Colin Farrell is the backbone of this film and is great to see after a string of very average performances. I really enjoyed this film however I must warn that it is not for everyone.Magic Review: 7.1/10
