Synopsis

An alcoholic screenwriter (Colin Farrell) struggling to write a serial-killer script gets more real-life inspiration than he can handle when a dognapping scheme gone awry brings a galaxy of crazies to his doorstep.

Synopsis

Two hitmen, the younger, Ray, the older, Ken, are sent to hide out in the strange Gothic, medieval town of Bruges, Belgium, after a hit they were involved with in London went wrong; hired to execute a Catholic priest, Ray also accidentally killed a seven-year-old boy outside a confessional.
While awaiting instructions from their boss, the volatile Harry Waters, who ordered the priest's killing for reasons only he knows, Ray attempts to deal with his darkness and despair over the death of the boy in this town that he can't bear, while Ken, who adores the place, tries to help his friend the best he can.

Ray meets a beautiful girl. Things start looking up. Ken gets the order from Harry to execute Ray. Things start looking down.

Romance and violence ensues. Honour and dramatic reversals abound. There will be dwarves and there will be drugs, and the dark, cobbled streets of this oddball town will be riven with blood and the retort of gunfire and the sickening screams of the guilty and the innocent.  Few will get out of Bruges alive.
