The movie "In Bruges" is a masterpiece. Each part of the movie plays an integral role and at the same time no part is lacking in quality. Ray (Colin Ferrell), a young boy in an adult body, and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), an old man, are told by their employer to stop in Bruges, a fairytale like town in Belgium. The two of them are hitmen and during the course of the movie Martin McDonagh (the writer and director) reveals that Ray killed a priest for money and accidentally killed a boy in the process. They also talk about life, death, and all things in between.
Each character is so different and is set apart by the way they speak. Ray is a profane asshole and the beauty of the screenplay is that his mannerisms and the things he says after his insults are just so charming. An example is when there's a rather large couple thinking of going up to a tower and when they ask Ray if he'd been there he says that "you can't go up there" and when they ask why he says "cause you're a bunch of fuckin' elephants that's why!" Humor like that is easy to come by but pulling it off is the key.
The whole movie in general is an action filled, comedy filled movie, that has stuff there for a second look into the movie for a deeper meaning, but it's not great for the kids so keep them home. Their journey will hopefully become yours as you run away from those trying to kill them and as you walk into memory lane with Ray and Ken.
I guess this movie gets an 8.9 out of 10 because the language wasn't really needed and there was an element of unrealistic character development within Ray as he develops from a child to a child still. The rest is simply phenomenal!
