One of the all time movie gems. I can't make through most of the dreck made these days once, this one I saw twice. It's hilarious in an Irish Catholic black comedy way, it's Samuel Becket with real blood. Most hilarious is that all the mayhem results from everyone trying to do the right thing. It's got a clockwork plot that in itself is a marvel, it just keeps cranking on and on until everyone is crushed in its gears. OK it's a great jokes and all great jokes are truly profound.

I dont want to die in Bruges, but this movie makes it close. I really really liked this movie. Perhaps a little slow, for some of us, and perhaps too many f***k words. But so beautifull 'contrasting' persons, with so much entertaining humor and that in a gr8 place like, where is it, Bruges... See it, and not only in Bruges, everwhere on the planet. OSCARS.....

Yes, but when is the Blu-ray version coming out??

Bruges is more than a little dull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL.. I COULD CONTINUE A ONNNGGGGG LONGGGGGGGGGGGG TIME! anyone that thinks different should try sticking to the town more than 2 days... 10 months nearly drove m,e to suicide. the movie makes bruges look alot more interesting than it is! only worth a half day visit thats for sure, dont waste ur time or money head to ghent antwerp and leige.

I was born in Brugge, and you were not. ;)
Two almost similar shots of the Halle tower is creative poverty.
It's not a very good movie. It is slow and just ... so totally off. A few good scenes do not make a great movie. Many scenes are downright silly.

Yes, the trailer is misleading. It's a comforting thought to me, though, that the trailer was entirely Universal's choice rather than Martin McDonagh's. Universal isn't very smart about he campaigning for this film in general, in my humble opinion.

It stands out to me that everyone who says they hated the film, talks about the profanity. It's clear to me that in that case you weren't paying attention to the story at all, if you were you would see it's deep. There's a lot of moral hidden behind the profanity - and if you weren't so shallow as to be turned off by language, you would see the value of this film. But it's your loss - if you're so easily upset or offended that's your right, but you'll miss out because of it. I'm of African descent and I wasn't offended. Comedy should be allowed and I refuse to stoop to a level where people can't even express themselves because God forbid someone ends up offended. Not on my account.

Prived medved, hochu moped :) Translate please in Russian!

I saw the trailer when I saw sweeny Todd and then when we decided to go see In Bruges, I was aprehensive. When i left I was spellbound. It was by far one of the best films I have ever seen. The use of music, humor, and the development of each character truly makes you transcend into their places. I wanted to see it again but it left abruptly. I was one that instantly went home and plugged in Itunes and downloaded the soundtrack. Brilliant! You all must see this film!

Saw the film yesterday, at the advanced screening. I thought Colin Farell did an excellent job, he made the film what it was. Was a bit gruesome at times, but it balanced out with the humour to make a truly great film. The best i've seen in a long time. Can't wait until the dvd.

GREAT MOVIE! really funny and totally unexpected! full of European black humor... great actors!

Your original message:
I would like to make a big comment about the movie the bruge with Mr Collins I think this movie is racist they spoke about the African American like they were slaves,Is the way I hear it,, comment like get in a black handicap women putting her on a swing and having sex with her,,,,, Another comment was about a gun purchase the actor mention that he did not need it a Uzi gun because he was not BLACK AND not from CALIFORNIA IN INGLESIDE ,AND OTHER comments LIKE THE BLACK ARE GOING TO BLOW UP THE WORLD AND THE WHITE NEED TO STAY TOGETHER ON THIS!!!! this movie was not a very good movie, and how could this actor agreed to played such parts this actor were admired by me and other but for now i have nothing to say about them now???? this movie is playing at the pembroke movie

I wached the film today.I loved it ! It's a very nice movie,really funny.Colin Farrell did an excellent job!
I like him very much!

I haven't seen the movie yet(i'll go on Friday) but i'm sure that i will love it because Colin Farrell plays and he is a very talented actor,i love all his films!

Great film. Never knew Colin can act, but I was wrong. All cast did an excellent job!

I saw the movie... its great, Its very funny, but not as funny as I expected tho. I do love the movie!! Also because I saw myself walking down the street, next to the canal.

Love it love it love it

I could'nt wait to see it......TERRIBLE MOVIE
The constant use of F--K this and F--K that seems forced by the characters and the story was too predictable. Only one scene was funny.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this gets a 2

I cannot wait to see this film! April 18th can't come quick enough!

I watched the trailer at Apple and laffed.
I watched it again and laughed even harder the 2nd time.

Better trailer at Apple IMHO

I could stomach only 40 minutes before I got up and left.
It is the worst movie that I have ever seen. It would have been an improvement if they had left out the profanity.

It is true that the ad for the movie is misleading. It was not what I was expecting, but I loved it. I am one of those "older" people (age 50), but if I left quietly, it was because I was in a spell and didn't want the enchantment broken. The movie is both funny and deeply moving. The music is beautiful and adds alot to the movie. I went right out and ordered the soundtrack. This is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in some time.

i hated the movie and i havent even seen it yet.

Best movie of the year!

Saw this today, excellent film. It was bloody, but not in a senseless Tarantino way. I have never been to Bruges but now I want to go and maybe go see Ghent on the same trip.

Jacquie W, I've just seen "In Bruges". You're correct in part in that the trailers did suggest the film was lighter than it actually was. However, what I liked was the fact that it was both darker AND funnier than the trailer suggested. Truly, this was one of the best films I've seen in years. Then again, I am a Dubliner and understand Dublin wit. I trust that the anti-American jibes didn't offend you?

Please release this in Australia. PLEASE!!

Jacquie W said "The people I saw in the audience were unsuspecting older folk, who thought this would be a pleasant afternoon out while revisiting old memories of past vacations, but they found out that it was a violent nightmare up in their faces." I'm always amazed and shocked at how many people are utterly ignorant of what they're paying to see (e.g., at my screening, the couple behind me: "He: What's this about again? She: I don't know - you picked it!"). I also saw a fair number of older folk, who ultimately reacted badly: how could they be unaware of the film's content?? I loved the film. I laughed more in the first 15 minutes than I would if I sat through all of Will Ferrell's 'comedy' films contiguously, and even the final voiceover of Farrell's character had me LOL.

Release date in Belgium: june 25th????
At least you could show some respect for the host country!!!

Here is why this film will ultimately fail at the box office. The marketing concept portrays the film as a light hearted comedy of errors with friendly, bumbling characters, but hidden is the fact that it is a bloody, gruesome tale of mayhem and gore. The people I saw in the audience were unsuspecting older folk, who thought this would be a pleasant afternoon out while revisiting old memories of past vacations, but they found out that it was a violent nightmare up in their faces. The audience I saw walk out after the movie didn't look entertained; they looked haggard. I was very disappointed myself and for the same reasons. You are marketing to the wrong people and so the word-of-mouth advertising about the movie is going to be negative. And I'll do my part to help with that! Thanks, but no thanks.

For anyone in the the Atlanta metro area, it's out for sure at the Midtown Art Theater on Monroe Drive.Those bastards in marketing where right. It's what makes or breaks and this trailer is really piss poor. It's like they are trying to spin us some other movie. I'm not sure as to why the marketing for this film is so miserable (and cringe worthy). I guess they can't quite package something that can't be pinned down properly, and this movie was a wonderfully good surprise.

If you love the film or are dying to see the film but can't yet, register at the fansite and show how loved the film is! http://inbruges.bravehost.com

Portland and Boise is the only places I know it's out in. Also, it's worth seeing and it's a 4 star rating. In addition, I like to say that this is my favorite movie out so far. I can't wait till it's out on dvd!

I'm from Bruges and I was an extra in this movie, can't wait to see it. Love to live here and as we say here: Brugge... Brugge is oltied schoane. (Bruges... Bruges is always beautiful)
But as it happens nightlife is kinda dull, however Ghent is only 50km's away!

and people wonder why the movie industry is dying. when movies like "In Bruges" come out they should be pushed forward for its inventiveness, yet are not given the release that they should be because they are too afraid that people are going to be shocked and offended by its content. while movies that insult the intelligence of the viewer and couldnt be more boring if they where made by a second grader, are still being shown from coast to coast. Yes i am talking to you "larry the cable guy." unless the movie companies grow a pair of gonads, i refuse to pay for their crap, and will just get it online.

I dont understand it they have commercials for the movie, it looks amazing and then they don't even show it within 20 miles of anyone. I dont go to the movies often (maybe twice a year) and I'm willing to spend the 10$ to see this. OPEN IT NATIONALLY!!!!

I agree with the guy below me. This movie needs a bigger release. Its amazing. I've been trying to take my friends to it, but they refuse to go all the way down to the art cinema to see it.

To whomever makes the decisions: MOVIES ARE MADE TO BE SEEN. RELEASE "IN BRUGES" NATIONWIDE.

Well, I finally found a theater that was playing the film in Philly and just got back from seeing it... It really blew me away. What's astounding is McDonagh's capacity to transcend crass humor to get to what is the soul of these characters. And it was more than helped along by the haunting piano theme.

If you're going to see this film for comedy, don't be expecting a whole lot more than what you see in the trailers. If, on the other hand, you want to prepare yourself for thoughtful contemplation, then this film provides the perfect premise.

This film defies categorization in a single genre. And if I had my pick, comedy wouldn't be it. But, really, I have come out with something more than I expected, and this is certainly something I will be purchasing for my DVD collection.

We went to Bruges several years ago and adored it! Belgians are the nicest people we've ever met in Europe. We took a day trip to Antwerp and turned around to come back to Bruges. We were also planning a trip to Amersterdam ... but decided to stay in Bruges.
I'm from Hawaii so I had my mouth gaping at all the gorgeous architecture, culture and history. Truly magnificent and definitely a place we plan to visit again.
We saw the movie and loved it (kept pointing out recognizable places) but it is a little "dark" for mainstream theaters.
I'm disheartened to hear that Colin Farrell wasn't praising Bruges ... but then again, we don't want EVERYONE going to Bruges! I think it gets a lot of visitors from people who "know".

I have been to Brugges and it is a beautiful town and I loved it. When I seen an add showing the release for your movie I watched the trailer and decided I really want to see this movie. Yes it is in Atlanta downtown, but that is to far for me to go when is your movie going to be released everywhere or at least in DVD. I really want to see this movie.

I have been dying to see this film (as have many people in my area) and to my chagrin, it's unavailable in Philadelphia. You know, by having such a limited release, Focus Features is just about begging people to partake in piracy... Please, could you give this film a general release, or at least bring it to DVD as soon as possible?

GET THIS FILM TO FLORIDA!!! Why would Focus run trailers down here and then not release it anywhere near here? What a tease!

I hope it comes to iowa, but who knows if that will happen. we always get screwed out of seeing good movies

I saw this film in Albany (NY) on Sunday, Feb. 17. I had seen the trailer at a showing of "Atonement" and figured it would be weeks or months until it played in "Smalbany." I guess it's in very limited release right now and that's a shame, given that it's one of the best movies I've see in months. What an amazing piece of film-making. The humor is sly, the dialogue sharp and the locations breath-taking. And, yes, Colin Ferrell actually does some great work here. My only complaint is that this movie will spoil Bruges the way "Sideways" spoiled California's Central Coast.

This is showing soon in Davis, CA.

Jordan Prentice! Time for a "helbal" infusion with HB and the rest of us at greenhouse west! It's a long way from HempNation and the Brunswick hotel my old friend.. Alyson and I are in Vancouver and we await your next visite!

Will we have to wait until the day before the European release before we get a date? Many European fans are dying to know when it's coming out, and it seems as if Focus Features simply prefers the American release and completely focuses on that rather than just setting the bloody date for Europe already.

I got bombed a few times at the Bauhaus. It was smokin'.

Is it playing in San Antonio ,Tx?

I'm in Northern Cal. and can't find the movie anywhere! Help!

can i play

I'm in the Tampa, Fl area, and this movie is now where to be found :(

I couldn't agree more All of Florida I have been waiting forever it feels like anticipating, impatientlyfor this movie and its not even here in Orlando. It is driving me crazy.

Why isn't this out in Florida, especially Orlando! How can you put us through such torture?! We've got Universal Studios at our back door, and IMAX, and it's not even playing there. This looks like an incredible movie, hope you guys decide to expand, it'll be worth your effort.

This movie has something for everyone (if not everything) comedy, action, suspense hell even romance.
P.S. don't drink to much water...you'll be pissing your pants/skirt well whatever your wearing.

When is this in wide release?..I've been waiting for this movie for months!

There's nothing more entertaining than a racist midget. Loved the movie and loved the midget.

Me and my boyfriend saw the movie on 2/8. I thought it was a great flick! Great action and comedy. And as always, Collin was very a pleasant treat for the eye. Ralph Fiennes was excellent as the bad guy. I am not familiar with the other stars name, but he did an awesome job too. I did not expect what occurred at the end of the movie (that's why foreign flix are so much better than the crap produced in America; yeah I am a native New Yorker). I highly recommend the movie and would see it again (if I didn't have to spend another $12) :-)

To: Lindsey Duro from Playa del Rey

I totally understand what you are saying. I adore Colin because he's a good person and a great actor, but I can't appreciate his opinion on Bruges, either.

I was in Bruges at the time of the filming, in fact I was on the set. This is how I know he's a good guy. He really is. But like you said; when he was there, everyone felt like he was just 'one of us' and he was appreciating us and the city as much as we did him and the city. We had the time of our lives, we had so much fun, and we were under the silly impression that the efforts we made to make Colin as comfortable as possible could make a difference. Turns out everyone had fun but Colin. It's a little ungrateful to say that in international press when you know people in Bruges were bending over backwards to please you.

Absolutely wickedly brilliant. Dark, funny, brilliant acting and dialogue. And Bruges! Best damn comedy I've seen in a long time. I'm almost speechless...

To Ms. Palmer: the closest to your location this week (Feb 9 ++) is Landmark's Embarcadero on the Promanenade Level of Embarcadero 1. The times are; 12:20, 23:50, 5:20, 7:70 and 10:15.

I would love to see this movie but can't find any theatre around that's playing it, or any site that lists the closest spot to me--wish there was a wide release date.

Bruges is a fabulous place for history, beauty and FOOD. Been there often. Where is this movie playing near Sacramento, CA?

I adored Bruges and went there twice. Looking foward to seeing it in the movies, good, bad or otherwise. It's got to be a great!

I saw Collin Farrell on David Letterman tonight (2/8/08) on a promo for this movie Bruges) cannot wait to see only because I lived in Bruges (or Brugger as the Dutch calll it) for over 2years. It is the most beautiful and fascinating and fabulous city in there is. Mr. Farell did not have anything good to say about Bruges and in fact insuinated that it was "boring" and "dull." It is anything but. Shame on him. What an asshole to have made a movie in the most beautiful city there is and lived there for 6 months and then trash the cityn and people who probably loved him as a compadre. He was so insincere in his promo for the film that it makes me siick. Did he ever go to the Lake of Love and see the swans.? I think someone else should do your promos for this file because he made me more than mad, he made me sick to my stomach to see someone speak about a city that is soooo amazing that one should always be in awe if having the chance to experience it. LIndsey Duro from Playa del Rey

Saw this film at Sundance.McDonagh is not only a great playwright but an amazing director. Gleeson was fabulous as expected but the erformance he got from Farrell is miraculous. Never really liked him in anything before this but he was amazing . This movie is worth the wait!

Also looking to find where it is playing in NC...

I was looking foward to seeing this movie after seeing previews, several commericals stating the movie would be released Feb 8th, and reading reviews. We made plans to see the movie tomorrow, then we find out the movie isn't even being released in our area! What a let down. What was the point of the media barrage for the 8th in our area if we have to wait til March for the regular release? If anything, I think this just pissed us off & made us decide not to see the movie.

I really want to see this movie. I was in Brugges last year, and loved it! My only complaint is that it is not opening in my area. You would think it would for everything comes to chiagoland, however... not at this time. Please, please... bring this soon. I've wanted to see this film since I first saw the trailer! (and I'm not the only one... :D)

Hey Joel,

Be sure to save room for a Westmalle !

Was in Bruge with my hubby in September (a day break from Paris) and absolutely loved it. If I can't get back, I hope to revisit it in the film which opens in Toronto today.

Bruges- is wondrous place- can't wait to see the movie then go get a Chimay, then an Orval, then a Duvel, then a Leffe, then .....-- I love Belgium

First time am visiting this site, Hook me up with this movie am a fan of movies
Dickson

I want see in Bruges. Please give me.

bruges is possibly my favorite city ever!...been there three trips...can't wait to see this movie!...

just saw this last night at a pre-screening in the LES and the lovely mr farrell was there... great film.. very funny.. brilliant quirks throughout the film. go see it!

Loved the movie-dark comedy, All the actors were great!--Still laughing everytime I think about scenes in this movie!

I was in Brugges in November, it's beautiful! I can't wait to "revisit" it with this movie and with some of my favorite actors... it's a win win!

Being a long time fan of Brugge (it’s in the Flemish area of Belgium) I love it! Sleepy little town full of American tourists. Some of the shots should have been moved a few K up the road to Ipre (Wipers)….. 2 Million dead what more a bit of show!

O my gosh every one who hates this movie is gray with out the r i love you colin

i read 'In Bruges' is not listed for an Australian release! That's crazy! We want to see it over here too!

Please make it available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw an early screening in Hollywood. The scene at the table with Colin and the midget was electryfying. The midget reminded me of Lord Larry Olvier's best work. I hope they film a sequel in Ghent or Utrecht.

Where is "Bruges" playing near Boulder/Longmont Colorado? We had to drive 45 miles to see "There Will Be Blood" Boulder is supposedly such a HIP place but "Cassandra's Dream" was only here for one weekend. Somebody please advise.

I actually saw this film being made so can't wait to see it. Off to Brugges again this weekend - love it.

real hit men lay low in Liege...

I love Brugge -- I want to go back and visit again....Anxious to see the film!!!!

I saw a special screening of this in LA. A good movie until the third act. Then it completely falls apart. Actions are unmotivated, there's no consistency, and everything's just a little too convenient. This is shoddy filmmaking by a great playwright.

Where can I see it in rhode island?

Loved the town of Brugge...looks like I will the the movie too!!

I saw an advanced screening of the film... the trailer doesn't do it justice. Best indie film I have seen in years. Action, comedy, and suspense, all rolled into one.

I saw this at Sundance, and it was one of the best movies I've seen in quite a while...Freakin hilarious!!! Can't wait to see it again when it hits theaters!!!

Ahhh, Brugges....one of my favorite cities in the world...can't wait to see the film...or, as my Irish friends would say, "fillim".

Film looks awesome!!

OMFG didn't expect to se this in my lifetime!
