In Bruges
Best of the recent 'pair of mismatched Irish lads in a strange location' movies. This one is set in Belgium and has two assassins hiding out for a few days. Farrell hates the place and ends up annoying a gay skinhead, American and Canadian tourists, a dwarf actor, and most of all Gleeson. Then Fiennes arrives to kill Farrell and you'll have to watch the movie to find out what happens. Thought it was good but not great, well paced, unusual, and made the most of the cast. Liked the way some of the smaller roles stood out and were important to the story. Most people don't consider this to be an Irish movie but if the director considers himself to be Irish and uses Dublin characters then that's good enough for this blog!
