Ray and Ken, two hit men, are in Bruges, Belgium, waiting for their next mission. While they are there they have time to think and discuss their previous assignment. When the mission is revealed to Ken, it is not what he expected.
Writing
McDonagh's dialogue—profane, philosophical, perfect
Acting
Farrell's face doing five emotions at once

Bruges becomes character, cathedral, and punchline
Director
Martin McDonagh
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
McDonagh wrote it after being stranded in Bruges himself, bored out of his mind. The tower scene? Legally required to film there.
The 'midget' subplot isn't just edgy humor—it's McDonagh interrogating who gets to be 'innocent' in a violent world.
