In Bruges (2008)
The first project for Farrell and McDonagh , In Brugesis a very sweary and very Irish sorry comedy , and it ’s far more complex than it has any right to be . The film keep up two gunman , Ray and Ken , as they wait instruction manual in Bruges from their boss , Harry .
Farrell superstar as Ray , and his performance is absolutely unflawed . Full of guilt from a mission go awry , he ’s a wounded world who rejects the beauty of Bruges because he ’s so down on himself . It ’s arguably his o.k. execution , and the movie , with its sidesplitting comedy and fundamental ruminations on animation and expiry , may well be his fine , too .
