"In Bruges" is a brilliant film. Colin Farrell delivers an outstanding performance as Ray, a rookie hit-man who is ordered to execute a priest, but inadvertently kills a young boy in the process. Brendan Gleeson plays an expert hit-man named Ken, who is ordered to take Ray to Bruges and hide out until their boss, played by Ralph Fiennes, contacts them. Ken loves Bruges, but Ray hates being there and constantly complains about the city: "If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't." This film is hilarious. The script, written by the brilliant Martin McDonagh, is dark, mature, brilliant, witty, shocking, and endlessly entertaining. Martin McDonagh directs the film with an enormous amount of passion and feeling. Colin Farrell delivers the performance of his career in "In Bruges". The film's cinematography is beautiful and perfectly captures the city in all of it's living glory. "In Bruges is of the best films I have ever seen.
