With "In Bruges." it feels like Martin McDonagh opened a window in a room where the air has been recycled endlessly.

[Martin McDonagh's] affinity with meandering, melodically rhythmic dialogue and volcanic eruptions of profanity serves him well in this witty, wordy film.

In Bruges has some cracking lines in it, a cracking performance from Brendan Gleeson as Ken, and some very funny, provocative jokes, but I still don't know... It's just all the violence that did me in.

A remarkably lighthearted black comedy for most of its runtime, often irreverent in a way that may be off-putting to some, but never malicious.
