Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are two hitmen whose last job didn't go so well, prompting their boss (Ralph Fiennes) to send them to the beautiful Belgian city of Bruges to cool their heels. They make for two unlikely tourists, wandering amidst Europe's most perfectly preserved medieval city, trying not to think about their botched job and the potentially fatal implications. Fizzing with smart dialogue and hair-raising action, acclaimed UK playwright Martin McDonagh makes an impressive film-directing debut with his own Oscar-nominated script.
