THIS WEEKS PICK, "In Bruges", STARRING COLIN FARRELL AND BRENDAN GLEESON.
Caught this movie "On-Demand" last weekend. Here is a brief description.
Bruges, a medieval city in Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travelers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray and Ken, it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss Harry to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloe, who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Ray's vacation becomes a life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional consequences.
This movie is a real “talker” as they say. A lot of scenes of the two men just B.Sing. But it’s filled with some great acting. And the story is very unique. I can’t remember seeing a movie quit like this. It does get quit bloody at the end but the movie as a whole is highly entertaining. Check it out if you want to watch something different from the norm.
