By far, one of the best movies I've ever seen! I don't remember when it was the last time I had so much fun seeing a dog on the screen.

Crime does not pay but it sure can be incredibly entertaining until it all gies south. Fantastic acting and a deep study of how each character deals with and attempts to justify their actions. It's rare that anti heroes or even straight up black color (I'm not sure that's the proper terminology) criminals meet with a realistic end and even though it's completely warranted, it really pulls on the heart strings and is goddamn sad.

Stupid and pointless movie. I feel like I've wasted my time.

Billed as a black comedy, this story of two stir-crazy Irish hitmen on the lam in Belgium could just as easily fall into any one of a dozen other genres. With traces of humor, suspense, romance, action and drama all stirred into the same bubbling pot, the risk is certainly there for overexertion, but the finished product doesn't fall short in any instance. The comedy is sharply witty and well-timed, the action fast-paced and fiery, the romance heartfelt but not heavy.

Colin Farrell, whose eyebrows migrate around his forehead like a pair of pitch black caterpillars on acid, works a good range of emotions out of his fairly simple leading role and cleanly manages to get us rooting for him by the time the closing scenes roll around. Upon reflection, there really isn't all that much to the story - it's predictable at worst, minimal at best - but there doesn't need to be. A perfectly efficient, enjoyable, versatile little slice of the wild life.

I honestly expected something more. With all the praise I heard about this movie, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

It has a mix of drama, action and dark humor; but I feel none of these elements really excel. While the premise is interesting, the way the story developed frankly bored me. I liked the melancholy overtone, but 1 hour and 40 minutes of runtime felt really long.

The cast was good; they all performed well and gave the necessary depth to their respective characters.

In the end, it is a missed opportunity, at least for me. Maybe with a slightly faster pace, I would have enjoyed it more.

6,5/10

This was sooooo boring. I regret watching it.

This is just a fun movie, I'd watch again in a heartbeat.

Watched this again to confirm that I loved it. Turns out I totally do. Decided to commit to the Netflix send after watching The Guard, another Gleeson flick with this director. Between this and that, he's got a real style and mood to his films. What else has he done since The Guard? (After a quick google...) Seven Psychopaths?!?! I love that movie too! Who is this guy?! That's 3 great movies. When's his next one? Also I need to rewatch that one. Adding it to the list.

THEY'RE FILMING MIDGETS!

[5 words]

"What's a fifty year old lollipop man doing knowing fucking karate? What was he? A Chinese lollipop man?"

"I saw your midget today. Little prick didn't even say hello."

"You can't sell horse tranquillisers to a midget."

"That's for John Lennon, you yankee fucking cunt."

"Exactly at what point was it that all skinheads suddenly became poofs? Used to be you were a skinhead, you just went around beating up Pakistani twelve year olds. now it seems to be a prerequisite to be a fucking bum boy."

HE KARATE CHOPPED THE DWARF I CAN'T BREATHE THIS FILM IS ART

"YOU'RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!"

"I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset."

This film is a delight.

Not as funny as Reddit told me.

Nobody should poke Mr. Ralph Fiennes's forehead ever!

Better than I expected, it has good characterisation for all the leads, great acting from them too, with a few bits of derisive dialogue that spoils what was otherwise an enjoyable stay in Bruges.

The dialogue and the delivery of it was funny. Colin and brendan are great together. Ralph well steals the show in such little screen time.

A Unique film, with the perfect mix of dark comedy and drama, along with a perfectly-paced and unpredictable plot.

A bottle? Such a gem of a movie!!
