The TVI Take
Martin McDonagh's 2008 directorial debut anchored by Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes as London hitmen exiled to Bruges after a botched job. The structural commitment to letting Bruges-as-actual-character cultural-cognitive material be the subject, and McDonagh's verbal-aggressive comedic register, is canonical late-2000s indie prestige work.
