1085 - In Bruges


I was recommended this when it first came out but never got around to seeing it in the cinema. The cast is small but mighty and the script has a lovely energy at moments, and is suprisingly slow at others. Despite it's somewhat uneven pacing the film works quite well. Without ruining any key moments there's a wonderful exchange between Farrell and Fiennes in regards to how one plans to escape from the other. Harkens back to Abbott and Costello in a way.
Big fan of these little crime films and this one's interesting. Like I said the small cast is great, and used well. The story is interesting and the characters all compelling despite their various levels of evil.
Check it out when you get the chance!
