I can't get over how good it was

I thought it was brilliant. I'm reminded of it everyday, just out of the blue. Every scene sticks with me, the music, the acting, the memorable dialog, everything. But the funny thing is that I wouldn't even put this in my Top 10. But I just think Martin McDonagh is brilliant. Anyone else agree? I'm surprised with how much the film impacted me and how memorable everything was. I've seen it about 3 times and the last time was about a month or so ago and I still can't get it out of my head. Absolutely brilliant film. I cannot wait for Seven Psychopaths. Holy *beep* what an amazing film. :)

For me this is one of the few movies that I watch on a regular basis. Often times I just want to watch the beginning because of the wonderful Soundtrack and I almost always end up watching through the whole movie. Top 10 indeed.

Martin is "brilliant,"to say the very least as were/are Brendan and Colin...it is another one for The Irish.Oh,I am a life long "street-fighter"of Irish-Catholic origin..trapped in America and I guarantee a Caucasian victory over blacks in a war because thes Caucasians are organized,all-loaded with ammo and know how to shoot.I do hope you all see this Irish film twenty times as I have.........so I gave it a 9 rating.
Hope I get to Bruges.

I agree with you all. This movie is really great. It's funny like hell and tragic too. The story is great, the characters are great...
It's brilliant!

I talk about this movie every chance I get. I have the theme song on my phone and listen to it when I fall asleep at night. It definitely sticks with you, I have never seen another movie that I actually call brilliant. If I had 50 thumbs I would give it 50 thumbs up! My favorite movie of all time.

I can't say anything that hasn't been said about this movie except the last 15 mins. I'd give this movie a 9 if it wasn't for that. Having said that, a must watch movie!

It's my favorite movie as of now. In technical terms, Pulp Fiction is practically the best ever made, but this is my favorite.

I remember seeing this film because a friend made a mistake and said sorry but I know nothing about this film. And for me the scenery and film just come together and make everything special. Having now visited Bruges twice last year it was a brilliant choice to choose to make the film there. When your there especially in the summer there is this feeling of what the place is about. The only thing I will say is the hotel they made the film in charges far to much for what its worth. Also it is very expensive in some places for what you get. Can I say Colin Farrell has never been better and Brendan Gleason give one of his best performances ever. Ralph Fiennes and the rest of the cast I can not fault. Maybe the American accents are the only thing wrong!
