film: In Bruges
Colin Farrell kicked off his career with some outstanding performances.
His roles in Minority Report, Phone Booth and Tigerland promised a glittering future.
However, something went wrong along the way.
The lure of big bucks dragged Mssr Farrell into some dodgy films with even dodgier scripts. (And dodgy haircuts on the basis of Alexander.)
Does In Bruges represent a turnaround in his acting fortunes?

I saw this somewhat by accident at the cinema and I too was fooled by the trailer. It does the film no favours at all and makes it look like some nonsense action film, whereas it’s something else entirely - a very, very black comedy with lots of other bits of genres mixed in for good measure. I really, really enjoyed it once I’d got over the initial shock. Nice to see Farrell not being an annoying cock for a change actually.
