Eh, I thought In Bruges was a bit over the top. It couldn't seem to figure out what it wanted to do with itself.

I thought it was alright. Kind of reminded me of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead. But without interesting characters (besides Fiennes). I think I just find the whole disaster heist/gangster genre to be kind of overwrought and never very fulfilling.

I swear not nearly enough people have seen this movie, it must be a bad choice for a title because no matter how often I mention it to friends they never end up seeing it.

This, great film, quite enjoyable but the overall plot was a bit of a mess.  Who cares though it was fun just to watch the actors act and to see the city.  Fun flick, I ask for nothing more.  Unlike you cinema fags fagging up this thread.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Very much liked the movie, mostly for its atmosphere. The story seemed to me to be a mere frame for the strange characters ambling through Bruges (worth a visit, by the way).
