After contract killer Ray blows his mission, his boss orders him to disappear in Bruges. Bruges? Where is this actually? In Belgium. The sedate but beautiful Bruges displeases the Irishman completely. He’s not into art and culture. He’s the kind of guy who always makes grumpy face or offends other tourists. Yet, he experiences more and more weird things. So, he meets a growth-restricted actor, begins to fall victim to the drug scene and falls in love with pretty Chloë.
You gradually get to know more about the failed mission and the movie lets you dive into Ray’s soul. His partner Ken receives a call from his indignant boss, to top it all. And it seems like the situation is getting even worse than it already is.
In Bruges is black to the core: bitter, sad and almost surreal. Nevertheless, you can chuckle about all this from time to time. This movie is a definitely worth watching work about a contract killer who seems to have chosen the wrong métier. It shows the unpredictable process of life and also that there’s no black and white, but a lot of grey instead … except for the black humor, of course.
