I've heard people saying,they didnt think of Colin Farrell as doing "funny" .. They obviously didnt see,or forgot "Intermission" ..The "movie within a movie" being made in "in Bruges",is supposedly a rip-off of "Dont look now" .. That set-up provides THE most preposterous of pay-offs imaginable.. lots of "claret" a sprayin...and Ralph Fiennes seems to be reprising Ben Kingsley's character from "Sexy Beast"..The other reference there being ,tally of "F"-word usage (still beaten by "Resevoir Dogs" methinks..but probably outscoring on the "C " word quotiant. All that said..this is a great example of a movie that will have you laughing out loud at disgusting characters and disgusting behaviour .. with enough redeeming ,believable qualities in those characters to make it all okay.
