IN BRUGES

Listed Summary: Guilt-stricken after a job gone wrong, hitman Ray and his partner await orders from their ruthless boss in Bruges, Belgium, the last place in the world Ray wants to be.

The UnReel Take:

Bottom Line: Great acting, script, and performances by the whole cast lend way to a great movie watching experience. Collin Farrell especially delivers the perfect performance as a quirky yet somehow well-intentioned hitman. This movie does have some very dark scenes/themes, but enough comedy is sprinkled in to balance it out. If you’re a fan of Guy Ritchie-esque cinema (typically UK settings, lots of swearing and violence, quick-witted), then this is the movie for you.

UnReel AR: 8.0

UnReel Category: Crime Time - This would be a great movie to watch with your foul-mouthed friends, or, for your friends who appreciate British/European settings and humor. Because of some of the darker moments, proceed with caution if considering for date night (especially if it is a 1st date night).

Food Pairing: Some delicious Sheperds Pie or Bangers and Mash will transport you to the proper setting and mood.

Drink Pairing: A proper pint of ale (or more) will quench your thirst during this film.
