Netflix pick for 5/12/14 – ‘In Bruges’

Written and directed by British playwright and screenwriter Martin McDonagh, “In Bruges” is a dark comedy about a pair of hitmen forced to take a little sabbatical in a tiny historical tourist trap of a town in Belgium, while their homicidal boss tries to figure out what to do with them. Many swear words and story twists abound. And it is all delightful.

In “In Bruges,” Colin Farrell plays Ray, a depressed hitman for the mob, super sad because of how a job had gone horribly wrong, and being sent to Bruges by his boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes) ends up being a sort of purgatory for him, as he has no idea if his muck up will cause him to be damned. Fortunately for Ray, Harry sent along with another hitman named Ken (Brendan Gleeson), who makes things a little easier for Ray as he tries to sort through his problems. What happens in the rest of the story is what you need to discover, and trust me on this one, it is worth it.

So check out “In Bruges” here on the Netflix Instant and fucking enjoy the fucking goddamned show! Fuck!
