In Bruges [spoilers]

[Dr. Z]

Went to see this tonight. What a strange film!

I was expecting a funny but dark film about some assassins in Bruges. What I actually got was extremely different to how I was expecting it to be.

It had its funny moments but I wouldn't say it was a funny film, the whole film was very dark (in a lighting sense) and had very depressing classical music playing through most of it. The overall feel of the film was one of sadness and the comedy side of it just didn't make that go away.

I thought it was very cleverly done because although the characters were light hearted and funny, the sadness they felt about how things had turned out was extremely well conveyed to the audience.

I wouldn't go and see it if you were easily offended by bad language, racist jokes or anything like that because that seems to be where most of the humour is (but its not directed at any actual characters bar anti-American sentiment).

I wont spoil the ending but it wasn't a great ending but it was thought-provoking I suppose.
