In Bruges


Rating = B+

On orders from their crime boss, two hit men kill an Irish priest and accidentally also kill a young boy. They are sent to Bruges, Belgium, to hide out and wait for further instructions. Over the course of the movie we get hints that the problem the crime boss had with the priest had something to do with childhood abuse. In any case, children are now sacred to the crime boss and the hit men, and this and other bits of criminal honor and honor among thieves drive the plot along.

You'll want to visit Bruges after seeing this movie.
