About the Film

In Bruges is a 2008 British-American black comedy crime film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star as Ray and Ken, two Irish hitmen sent to the medieval Belgian city of Bruges by their boss Harry Waters, played by Ralph Fiennes, to lie low after a job in London went horrifically wrong — Ray accidentally killed a child. While the cultured, reflective Ken falls in love with Bruges's architecture and paintings, the uncouth, guilt-stricken Ray despises the city and wants nothing more than to leave.

Their philosophical bickering, Ray's suicidal guilt, and the brewing tension over what Harry has actually sent them to Bruges to do creates one of the finest dark comedies in modern cinema. Martin McDonagh's dialogue was a precision instrument — profane, hilarious, and devastatingly sad, often within the same sentence. Colin Farrell's performance, balancing clownish rudeness with genuine anguish, earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy.

In Bruges earned $33 million worldwide on a $15 million budget.
