Ken: [looking at a surreal Bosch painting] It's Judgment Day, you know?
Ray: No. What's that then?
Ken: Well, it's, you know, the final day on Earth, when mankind will be judged for the crimes they've committed and that.
Ray: Oh. And see who gets into heaven and who gets into hell and all that.
Ken: Yeah. And what's the other place?
Ray: Purgatory.
Ken: Purgatory... what's that?
Ray: Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham.
[pause]
Ray: Do you believe in all that stuff, Ken?
Ken: About Tottenham?
What a pleasant surprise. I didn't know anything about this movie when I started watching it. The soundtrack, the camera work -- the overall atmosphere of the movie pulled me and kept me "enchanted" to the end.
The dark subtle humor was brilliant.
Playwright Martin McDonaugh's film, In Bruges, is a dark comedy/light tragedy about hitmen spending time in Bruges, a quiet, touristy town in Belgium, while waiting for their next contract. These killers are rather more human than the genre's usual, with their own interests and personal drama. Colin Farrell is endearingly dim-witted, but believably tortured by a hit gone wrong, while Brendan Gleeson is the tedious, disciplined veteran who could spend all day seeing the sights. Neither of these men relish killing, nor does their boss played by Ralph Fiennes, for that matter, though he seems a little on edge than they are. Naturally, it's all going to turn into a perfect Fiasco before the end. Great location, excellent acting, textured writing, strange and original moments... Thoroughly enjoyed that.
I was excited to share with you all the epic quotes that came out of this movie. Particularly "you're an inanimate fucking object" - but many have already mentioned it which shows how memorable this film was. I feel like it is underrated as I came across this by chance!
Loved it the first time. Keep seeing this here and there, and every time it becomes a funnier and more and more of an ass backwards loveable mess.
At this point i see it as the best comedy ive seen in decades. Just keeps lodging itself deeper and deeper into a black hole: every time i see it, just seems like a bigger and bigger mess every time

Features some of the best lines ever written, particularly - "YOU'RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!!!!". Underrated, if anything, I'd say.Siskoid

Although it is globally a comedy there is a lot of melancholy in here and I liked that. Original tone, themes and great characters.What a shitty poster though!
It makes the film looks like a "Snatch wannabe" but it's really something else!
Unfortunate Synopsis

Ray: "One gay beer for my gay friend, one normal beer for me because I am normal".Ray: Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.
