◄ In Bruges (2008)

Metascore

Based on 34 critic reviews provided by

100	Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert An endlessly surprising, very dark, human comedy, with a plot that cannot be foreseen but only relished.
88	USA Today Claudia Puig Sharply written, superbly acted, funny and even occasionally touching.
80	Washington Post Those who know McDonagh's work know a vein of darkness will run deeply through the comedy. It has seldom been darker. Or funnier. He has made a hit-man movie in which you don't know what will happen and can't wait to find out. Every movie should be so cliched.
80	Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern The heroes are two hit men, and the tone is often absurdist. But the film is also very funny and surprisingly affecting.
75	Rolling Stone Peter Travers A haunting and hypnotic movie, just the thing to get lost in.
75	San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle Witty and lively, with a soul to it, as well.
70	Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano A dark comedy with a melancholy streak and punchy sense of humor.
63	Boston Globe Ty Burr Fiennes's energy gets the film over the finish line.
60	The New York Times Manohla Dargis Mr. Gleeson, Mr. Farrell and especially the late-arriving and welcome Mr. Fiennes have great fun rummaging around inside Mr. McDonagh's modest bag of tricks.
58	Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum Neither star is sloppy, but both are loose and mellow -- a couple of pros who know they're the whole show.
