In Bruges: A twisted fairytale

Ray (Colin Farrell):Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.
Bruges, the fairytale like town where most of this movie takes place, is a picturesque town located in Belgium. A perfect tourist spot for some, it is a personal hell for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) who is hiding out with his partner, Ken (Brendan Gleeson), after a hit goes wrong. In the town they come to terms with issues of guilt, morality, and redemption.
The movie part black comedy, part serious drama, is a perfect example of creative filmmaking. The characters feel realistic and different; it's easy to tell them apart from one another (especially Jordan Prentice who plays the "little person Jimmy"). The film's scenery is beautiful, which makes up for Ray's constant barrage of insults at the town. The film is a must see! Seriously just go out and get it right now...words can't describe it.....at least my words if you've seen the movie please comment below on whether I'm right or completely wrong!
My Grade- A
