After a difficult job, two hit men head to Belgium to hide out until things cool down. Waiting for their next mission to be assigned, they discuss life and death while roaming the surreal and medieval streets of Bruges. When the mission is finally revealed to them, it is not what they expected.
Initially a playwright, Martin McDonagh delivered in spades with this, his uproarious debut as a writer-director: a pitch-black comedy recounting a hapless hit job gone wrong. Special mention must be made of its marvellously barbed screenplay, modelled on Harold’s Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter”.
