Don't Believe the Hype

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Apart from good around ten minutes screen space involving conversation between Ken and Harry, this movie sucks!!! I just could not tolerate Ray... hopeless idiot making faces and behaving like a ten year old kid.

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. A very British movie. Only Brits can pull off such great mix of comedy and sadness. And of course world renoun British humour. I will definitely watch it again.

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

Not your typical assassination flick, as the film combines elements of ruthless violence and squeamish humor side by side. The character of Jimmy the dwarf (Jordan Prentice) was a nice touch to provide all that conversation about midgets committing suicide, a topic apparently that hit-man Ray (Colin Farrell) couldn't get enough of. For a couple of assassins, Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and Ray displayed a lot of honor and integrity in the way they conducted themselves. They must have taken their cue from boss man Harry Waters (Ralph Fiennes), who honorably killed himself at the end of the picture when he wound up shooting Jimmy by accident. I would have expected nothing less, although to be accurate, Jimmy wasn't a kid, so Harry would have had some leeway there. I'd have to assume Ray made it back to London at some point, seeing as how his narration closed out the picture, but the ending could just as easily be left up to the imagination of the viewer. I'm pretty sure he made it myself though, with a return trip to Bruges in his future for some more culture and fun.
