Movie Review: In Bruges - Page 2

Although there is a lot of graphic violence, you’ll be pleased to learn that no Belgians were hurt in the making of it, so you can sit back and enjoy the bloodfest. Enjoy the acting, too, and the dialogue (the screenplay is written by McDonagh), and the music, and the cinematography. And enjoy it in the cinema rather than waiting for the DVD. Because In Bruges is akin to a piece of theatre. It’s an experience that can be enjoyed best while laughing and gasping in the company of strangers in a darkened room.

And it’s not often you can say that about Belgium.
