In Bruges [2008]

In Bruges Poster Version 2
In Bruges [2008|Dark Comedy|Crime|Drama]
Directed By: Martin McDonagh
Primary Characters: Ray (Colin Farrell), Ken (Brendan Gleeson), Harry Waters (Ralph Fiennes)

After accidentally killing a child on his last hit, hitman Ray and his partner Ken is sent to Bruges, Belgium by their boss Harry Waters to lay low for a while. While Ken thinks that the place is great, Ray feels otherwise and has been tormented by guilt as well. After agreeing with Ray to go sightseeing at night, the two left their hotel room and came across a movie shoot with a midget actor (they prefer to be called dwarfs). Here, Ray finds Chloe, which becomes his love interest.

As the story unfolds we then find out that the reason Harry sent the duo to Bruges is because he wants Ray to experience the magic and beauty of the place before taking him out, Harry has a principle that child-killers do not deserve to live and that if he had accidentally done it then he would swallow his own bullet and die. Without knowing Harry's intentions, Ray wanted to kill himself on the park but was stopped by Ken, who was supposed to kill him. Ken asks Ray to get on the train and disappear instead.

Upon learning this, Harry went to Bruges himself to deal with Ken. On the train, Ray was placed under arrest and was sent back to Bruges for a minor incident that happened earlier. At this part of the film we will see the chasing and the shooting. All three gets a bullet, two will die and one is brought by the ambulance in the end and wishes to live.
