Bruges (pronounced “broozh”),
is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over the
world. But for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan
Gleeson), it could be their final destination; a difficult
job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas
by their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee
Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels in the storybook
Flemish city for a couple of weeks.
Very much out of place amidst
the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the
two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists.
Ray hates the place, while Ken finds his mind and soul being
expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city.
But the longer they stay waiting
for Harry’s call, the more surreal their experience
becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with
locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor
(Jordan Prentice) shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes,
and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë
(Clémence Poésy), who may have some dark secrets
of her own.
And when the call from Harry
does finally come, Ken and Ray’s vacation becomes a
life-and-death struggle of 
darkly
comic proportions and surprisingly emotional consequences.
