Paulscoconutass Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Picked it up on the cheap from HMV yesterday and watched it straight away. One word: Brilliant. Lots of very dark comedy, although you could easily relate to the characters as they were pretty believable. Plenty of funny twists and turns and it's got some serious subject matter too. To top it all off the scenery is great - makes you really want to go there.Don't know whether it was the Belgian connection or just the insight of a hitman but it REALLY reminded me of a more upbeat Man Bites Dog, which is no bad thing.9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yup, awesome film. Briliiant performances and a great script. Colin Farrell needs to do much more of this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Must be the only decent film I've seen Farrell in? can't understand why he is such a big star.Well, Miami Vice was OK I suppose, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Jo-D Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I didn't like it, not sure if it was my frame of mind but I got VERY bored, same old gags it felt...I wanted to walk out, but persisted....would have prefered a couple of pints of stella instead!!

Johnny Mac Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Saw this last night. I thought it was really good. Pretty funny and pretty dark in similar measures.And some nice imagery and points left for interpretation.Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Strong Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 definitely one of my favourite films! bruges is lovely, as well. BUT, contrary to how the bell tower is portrayed in the film, there's actually a MASSIVE electronic ticket service thing, and chicken wire over pretty much everything at the top. sort of lost the magic...
