Weekend Netflix Report: 'In Bruges'

In Bruges. I thought this was a well-made, well-acted but, in the end, silly film about sentimental, conscience-ridden hitmen (yes) hiding out, for some reason, in the medieval section of Bruges, Belgium. Colin Farrell does a good job with his conflicted character, and the other actors are fine. The dialog is sharp and sometimes humorous. But the plot over-stretches credibility, especially near the end.

Why Bruges? It seems the only reason is to provide some beautiful cinematography. As "Ray" (Farrell) says, "Why not the Bahamas?"

Less here than meets the eye.
