As far as 21st century movies, it's firmly in my top 25. Other than "A Serious Man", I can't think of a dark comedy of the 2000s that comes close.

quote:


The script is brilliantly written. Not a single second of wasted conversation. Everything hilariously comes back into the fold, be it the Canadians getting Ray thrown off the train, the fatass Americans getting the tower shut down, the one-eyed thief getting chastised by Harry, etc. The characters are great and it's downright hilarious. Perfect execution of dark comedy


I don't hate that logic and I agree with most of this but I'm not ready to go quite as far as you in calling it "perfect". In the Mood for Love and There Will be Blood are the only 21st century movies I might go that far with. To each his own.

quote:

Colin Farrell gives the best performance of his life, Gleeson plays the perfect mentor figure, Harry is the ideal hysterical mob boss.


I completely agree.

To each his own is right. I thought There Will Be Blood was god fricking awful. In Bruges is a far more enjoyable movie that delivers in every scene at every level.
