Good movie but grossly overrated
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
"In Bruges" is a charming, yet dark film. It rides the line of comedy and drama. It is a film that is sure to keep you on your toes. The storytelling is of a rare breed in modern cinema, and because of this it is easy to appreciate.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: The absurdity of the story of Ray and Ken is what makes it so charming. Two dangerous men spend some time together in a quaint town called Bruges after a job goes wrong. It all seems a bit peculiar but oddly it feels real. It is humorous and unprofessional, but seems as if these characters are real. We are drawn in an easily invested into their situation. Martin McDonagh keeps the tone under wraps all throughout the film. When something gets to be too ridiculous, he tones it down and brings some seriousness to the scene. When things get too serious for their own good he brings in some more ridiculous humor. He is in total command of the tone of the film and he nails it all the way through. *Cinematography/Editing: The look of the film is one of bleakness and beauty, mirroring the views of Ray and Ken. Eigil Bryld ties these two worldviews together visually in such a beautiful manner. The sequencing of the film is high energy. There is never a dull moment or lapse in storytelling. Each scene pushes into the next and is filled with wonderful moments. *Dialogue/Acting: Here is yet another fantastic part of the film. There are lovely quips all throughout the film, but they do not feel forced or out of place. They add to the absurdity of the film, but also its charm. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are a wonderful on screen pair. They had remarkable chemistry and they very much brought the film to life. Ralph Fiennes plays a dangerous and inconsistent crime boss. He shifts from stupidity to sternness in a split second and it is incredible. *Music/Sound: Perhaps one of the low points of the film, the music doesn't always seem to fit the mood of what is being portrayed on screen. Although, this could just be another aspect of the chaotic story we are presented with. The sound design is full of beauty and ugliness. There are a few scenes that turn out poorly for our heroes, and the sound design adds to the level of pain we feel. *Production Design/Special Effects: The sets and locations of Bruges are a marvel to behold. They are full of wonder while still being rather bland. The special effects are adequate for the film. They draw no attention to themselves, positive or negative, save one rather gruesome scene.*Conclusion: "In Bruges" is a film of great wonder and excitement, but also bleakness. There is much to ponder about after viewing it. It is a crazy ride all the way through and is one that is sure to be enjoyed by audiences with a quirky taste.
I was really surprised by the storyline because of the way the humour was also gathered up in a natural way. Really I Just wanted to say What I have said on the title; That's all... Really was expecting a comedy mixed crime, thriller but was pleasantly surprised with the Good story. Cheers From Sri Lanka. Would Like to visit bruges some day...
Absolutely wonderful film in every sense of the word. Nothing was missed here, the dialogue, the actors, the characters, and the plot are perfect with a wonderful setting and soundtrack to back it up. What appears to be a standard dialogue focused crime movie turns out to be much more than that and the end product results in what is in my opinion one of the best films ever made.
Masterpiece. This is, very simply, an amazing film. I sat down to watch it for a creative writing class and found myself amazed by the incredible writing at work here.The plot is complex and can be very emotionally draining but it only serves to turn this film into an artistic beauty. Colin Farrell is perfect in this film. He plays a character somewhere in between desperate and lost and yet still finds a way to make you laugh. His best performance by far. Brendon Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes deserves a lot of credit as well as their performances absolutely blew me away.This is one of those films where everything is said and done and thought for a reason. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is done without purpose in this absolute sculpture of a film.P.S. I wouldn't suggest it for date night :l
