In Bruges
Just a pile of babba. Utter wanky-sparrows, it bored the tits off of me with it's insiped lack of insight and originality.

Edit: I like Donnie Darko though, I think it's great.

thoroughly enjoyed In Bruges
some of the best dialogue from a film I've seen in a long time.

I thought In Bruges was a great way to spend 2 hours
The only problem was the Colin Farrell "Oh look at me I'M a HUNKY AND CHEEKY AND OH SO COOL OIRISHMAN"-ometer was going off the scale.

to be fair to him,
in the presence of Brendan Gleeson, you have to do something to not get acted off the screen - the man is immense.

See, 'The General' about Irish criminal genius, Martin Cahill.

Brendon Gleeson is brilliant
But the film is so limp. When you have to rely on cheeky stereotypical accents (from Irishmen and Cockneys, for example) to make the words funny, then it all becomes about the delivery and not the words themselves. In Bruges suffered from that a lot (especially Ralph Fiennes' character). And the characterisation was just nonexistent or lazy - let's give a hit man a conscience! Let's make a gang boss hate violence against children! Let's make a dwarf racist! - and traits were added on as shorthand for actual personality.

I'm probably making it sound worse than I actually thought it was (two stars), but for me it will always be dire (no stars) because I just fucking hate Colin Farrell.
