In Bruges
Robert KoehlerMartin McDonagh benches the bolder, brasher side of his dramatic writing skills and tries his hand at genre and plot in his highly erratic filmmaking debut, In Bruges. Closer to pics like The Hit and Miller???s Crossing than to McDonagh???s bristling, funny plays, this half-comic, half-serious account of two Irish hitmen who are sent to the titular Belgian burg to cool their heels after a job is moderately fair as a nutty character study, but overly far-fetched once the action kicks in. After pic???s Sundance opener spotlight, Focus should expect generally indifferent critical and aud response during February rollout.
McDonagh???s transition here brings to mind David Mamet (a strong influence on McDonagh???s stage work), who similarly switched from ...
In Bruges
Ken, a hitman with history, and new-to-the-profession Ray are sent to Bruges by their boss after Ray's bullets claim an innocent victim. Playwright Martin McDonagh's thriller, starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes
Martin McDonagh is famous for ultra-violent plays that are as fashionable as they are bloody.

In Bruges
Claudia PuigIn Bruges stands out boldly (and blessedly) from the rubbish and wan comedies released in February. It is easily one of the best debut feature films in recent memory. The notion of a pair of hit men cooling their heels as they're forced to play tourist in a picture-postcard town is clever enough. But as the story unspools, it grows more intriguing. Martin McDonagh, an Irish playwright who won the Oscar for his short film Six Shooter, reveals immense talent as a writer/director with his first full-length film. A Sundance favorite, In Bruges is an original, offbeat and darkly comical caper film that twists and turns in compelling and unpredictable ways. Brendan Gleeson is brilliant as Ken, one of a pair of hit men sent to Bruges, a medieval ...
