In Bruges (2008) Film4, 11.35pm ★★★★★

Martin Mcdonagh’s smart and sassy gangster film is two hundred miles from a hackneyed Guy Ritchie-style Cockney caper – literally. The film is set in Bruges, where wise-cracking hitmen Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are holed up after a botched job, waiting to hear from their sociopathic boss (Ralph Fiennes) – who ends up instructing Ken to kill Ray. Clémence Poésy co-stars.
