Martin McDonagh was inspired to write In Bruges after spending a weekend there. Though initially mesmerised by the architecture and museums, he admits soon became bored and just wanted to get drunk.

By: Conor O'Donoghue. It was not only very funny but you were able to connect with the characters in a way you didn't think you would.
The plot was def. Only real problem I had with the movie was that it was a little bit too long, but it didn't take away from anything. I should also say that I'm not a huge Colin Farrell fan, but after this movie I believe that he has proved that he can hold his own with the other leading men out there.
I thought there were some beautiful moments that they captured on film where you see him dealing with his characters inner demons. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for something "different", if you're sick of seeing the same "hollywood-esque" movies, then please give this movie a shot. If anything, enjoy it for the witty dialogue. FAQ 7. Is "In Bruges" based on a book? Was "In Bruges" actually filmed in Bruges? So is it Bruges or Brugge?

It's the best-known tower in Bruges. Ken climbs the Belfry again at the end of the movie in the shooting scene with Harry, after having talked to him at the terrace of restaurant De Beurze on the other side of the market square.
This scene was actually filmed in a studio as there was not enough space on the actual belfry to film it there.
