This movie has the best pacing this side of Taxi Driver

This movie is about two hit-men who after a job goes wrong are sent by their boss to Bruges, Belgium to hide out and await further instructions. 

The first time I saw this movie I thought it was very slow to start, but then picked up at the end and got amazing. Since watching it the first time, I feel that it is measured out and develops in perfect time, with this slow buildup of characters and situation, which all comes to a head at the exact right moment. 

This movie is very dynamic, with the two main characters being hit-men there is a certain amount of requisite violence, but one of the most striking things about this movie is how funny it is. There are many parts where I laughed aloud even when I watched it alone, which usually never happens. 

The script is well written, and the performances are top notch. This is maybe the best Colin Farrell has ever been in my opinion (he was in this random movie about a boat called Cassandra's Dream, which he was good in, but the writing wasn't as good as this, so it makes it seem less) he is very funny, in an unconscious way and vulnerable as a character. Liam Neeson plays quick tempered "Harry" whom after being told by his wife while hitting a telephone relentlessly in anger, "it's an inanimate fucking object" screams back "you're an inanimate fucking object!"

The themes and comedy are a little dark which I always like, the writing is good, the actors are good and  the end is REALLY good. Watch it, see what you think and tell me!
