[@AlexSwanson-rw7cv]

Ralph Fiennes (pronounced "Fines") and Clemence Poesy were also in the Harry Potter films.

What the heck voldemort and fleur?

[@732ReviewCrew]

He's the one we noticed at the end (Mikey made Joe mad for interrupting!)

[@732ReviewCrew]

It's okay ;)

[@maruskaehrensdorfer]

@@732ReviewCrew I was laughing so hard that you guys completely missed the fact that Ralph Fiennes (prounced Fine) who played Harry in this movie is Voldemort in Harry Potter! 😂🤣 Great reaction! This is one of my all time fav movies!

[@blackblake3658]

Ralph (pronounced Rafe) played Lord Voldermort and is one of the greatest living actors.

[@MotoNomad350]

I disagree on rewatchability. I find this movie rewatchable.

[@spruce381]

Watched at least three times and seven or so reactions

[@spruce381]

One other one - 100% English is Withnail and I, best scripted Brit flick ever.

[@UNaMon]

Yep, agreed; it's a gem.

[@aita45]

I rewatch it as a Christmas tradition, or along with other McDonagh dynasty films. Never seen writing so perfect other than in their movies.

[@darktake1234]

I agree on rewatchability as I have rewatched.... therefore confirming the aforementioned rewatchability

[@PerfectHandProductions]

It's hard to describe how much I love this film. It's in my top five.

[@thewheezingdead]

I love In Bruges, and find it very rewatchable. Everyone is on their A game not a bad performance in the movie. Even the unsung parts Thekla Reuten as the hotel owner and Zeljko Ivanek as the Canadian guy. You guys might like the Guard also staring Brendon Gleeson and written and directed by John McDonagh the brother of Martin McDonagh who wrote and directed In Bruges.

[@trj820]

I think that one thing that you guys missed was why Ken was so dedicated to saving Ray. Ken didn't owe any personal debt to Ray. Instead, it's very clear that Ken has deep moral regrets about his career as a hitman. He telegraphs them throughout the film, like with the "lolipop man" conversation, or his explanation to Harry at the top of the tower. Ken sees Ray botch his first ever hit and realizes that he could just as easily have been in Ray's position at some point in his life, and he could be the one facing down Harry's wrath. He's willing to lay down his life because he feels that his soul is at stake. Ken needs to know that a man like Ray can be redeemed for his crimes, because if Ray can't be redeemed, then neither can Ken.

[@732ReviewCrew]

Ohhh

[@trj820]

@@732ReviewCrew Basically every line in the movie is related to the theme of judgement vs. redemption. I'd highly recommend a rewatch with the thematic content in mind.

[@jacobhall2628]

he also felt guilt for not being able to prevent the murder of his wife so he empathized with Ray

[@arparso]

That movie was so wild. Didn't know a thing about it when I randomly picked it up from a movie rental store, but it became an instant favourite. The writing and characters are so damn amazing.

[@explody7836]

Martin McDonagh wrote and directed this, and if you're wondering why this film feels so unique, a lot of that is down to him. He's a playwright and a lot of his plays feel similar to this movie -- dark and slightly absurd humor with a third-act gut punch.

[@OrganicOrc]

Martin McDonagh has become one of my favorite directors as I've moved through his filmography. While his newest movie, Banshees of Inisherin (reprising both of the main actors from this movie) was absolute amazing, I think my favorite might be Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. The cast is insane for that one.

[@derrisreaditbefore]

Mad Eye Moody, Voldemort, and Fleur Delacour from Harry Potter, and Gellert Grindlewald from Fantastic Beasts... it's one of the joys watching actors from the UK. The quality of their talents puts them in so many productions before Hollywood gets to know them, that there's always brilliantly unexpected stuff in their back catalogues. I really loved this back when I watched it, and 100% agree with Mike - it's so oddly flawless there's no reason to go back and re-watch. I'm glad you had such fun watching it.

[@spurgurius]

Also the Priest is Aberforth Dumbledore

[@derrisreaditbefore]

@@spurgurius YES! That's who I couldn't think of! All I could think of was Mance Rayder in GoT. I *knew* he'd been in Harry Potter, but couldn't make my brain see him as anyone else. THANKS!

[@spurgurius]

@@derrisreaditbefore Ye well hes unrecognizable and such a small role, easy to forget.

[@PatrickHarte-t3b]

Only Ralph Fiennes is from the UK. The rest are Irish or European.

[@blackblake3658]

@@PatrickHarte-t3b And Fiennes is a master at changing his voice. He sounds nothing like that.

[@smexijebus]

Definitely check out everything this writer/director has done! Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards, and Banshees of Inisherin!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Mikey, Joe and Mike! 💎 My late friend Rob introduced me to this one. Everything I've seen by writer/director Martin McDonagh, I've loved. Rob and I actually met Mr. McDonagh at a free screening for SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS (2012).

[@732ReviewCrew]

We're glad you enjoyed. ❤️❤️

[@djolemacola]

First time watching the scene where Ken stops Ray from killing himself I thought he was gonna kill a kid on the playground behind Ray for a split second... then when the dwarf got shot I lost it.

[@peterkirby7546]

Yes, it is purgatory. Or at the very least alluding to purgatory throughout the entire film numerous times.

[@lisannebaumholz5028]

McDonagh is probably best known in U.S. for his film "Three Billboards Ouside Ebbing, Missouri". Like "The Banshees of Innishirin", many of the actors were nominated for Oscars and Frances Mcdormand and Sam Rockwell won.

[@stephenbull2026]

Seven Psychopaths is another good one by McDonagh with Christopher Walken, Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell and Woody Haralson

[@aita45]

29:08 I love this instant reaction when a guy on the left realizes the American that had a heard attack was a "fatty" from the beginning of the movie

[@screamr2d2]

The Banshees of Inisherin is also brilliant, same director with Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell.

[@Starman_Deluxe]

Fun fact, the dwarf in this movie also played the big bag of weed in Harold and Kumar go to white castle

[@spruce381]

Loved your reaction. Another mcDonagh, Gleason flick is innis Erin - Gleason on his Tod / the guard, black comedy. - Farrell, the gentleman. And part on of a great Dublin trilogy / the commitments. You guys get films 👍😂❤️

[@732ReviewCrew]

Appreciate 🙏

[@danielmannandersen2332]

The director and the two leads reunited for a movie called "The Banshees of Inisherin" recently and thought it was a better movie than this one. Just as weird, but the messaging is more nuanced than here. The most unique movie ive seen in a while.

[@arparso]

Oh, wow, didn't even realize. Makes total sense, Banshees was just as amazing, maybe better.

[@MattTownsend-t4b]

​@@arparsoAlso, Seven Psychopaths and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 😎

[@arparso]

@@MattTownsend-t4b I've seen them both. I remember being disappointed by Seven Psychopaths (but it's been a long time), but Three Billboards was good.

[@JoeRandoms]

stone cold classic comedy. so well written, banshees is another great one involving most of the same peeps

[@aodhan2023]

Lad in the black t-shirt made some very good points. Unfortunately the lad in the red t-shirt seemed to be annoyed every time lad in black t-shirt spoke. Spoiled the review of a great film.

[@peterengelen2794]

Looks like the dude in the middle doesn't like the little dude on the left (his right of course), and it is not the first time I noticed hahahaha!

[@StandardCabrera]

I'm surprised you didn't realise Ralph Fiennes was Amon Goth in Schindler's list. And he's Voldemort

[@wulfgold]

The Guard - Don Cheadle, Brendan Gleeson and Mark Strong. Similar humour and a masterpiece, might be funnier than In Bruges. I'd definitely recommend a re-watch of In Bruges, there's a lot of detail in there, excellent dialogue and it's beautifully shot. Stray note - Elizabeth Berrington, who plays Harry's wife is excellent, see Secrets & Lies.

[@pmbbmp]

The movie is written and directed by Martin McDonagh, and pretty much everything he's written and directed is great. You should put "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri" (which won several Oscars) and "Seven Psychopaths" on your poll. Like this film, both funny, dark and very well written

[@CharCanuck14]

Loved Seven Psychopaths.....great little film!

[@corgiluver9718]

Very enjoyable reaction. Been a while since I've watched In Bruges but watching the reaction makes me remember how very good and funny it is. It is my favorite by Martin McDonagh. Personally, I find the twists in his better known movies to cross the line of plausible. The acting by all in this is fantastic especially the two leads.

[@tsult81]

Its a great movie and a great reaction guys - thanks

[@PerfectHandProductions]

Now watch every other Martin McDonagh film, they're all fantastic.

[@MrSarcasm101]

Never seen it but Bruges is full of toutists since the movie. Thanks McDonagh.

Our fault. Dumb Americans

[@andreatreese8347]

When I saw the ads for this movie, I was eager to watch it because they only advertised it as a comedy. Imagine my shock when I realized this was an absolutely HILARIOUS movie--until suddenly it WAS NOT FUNNY. Honestly, I don't think this should be called "In Bruges". It needs to be called "Mood Whiplash: The Movie". That being said, I love this movie. It's so brilliant, everyone delivers the best performance they can possibly give, and it has one of the most fantastic stories about sin and penance and redemption I've ever seen.
