One promising contender is the Colin Farrell crime drama, "In Bruges". Farrell plays a hitman who, after botching an assignment, is instructed to hide out in the quaint but boring city of Bruges, Belgium, with a fellow assassin (Brendan Gleeson). It's the first feature film by playwright Martin McDonagh, who has received much acclaim for his dark style of comedy writing and is the first playwright since Shakespeare (!) to have four films running simultaneously in London's West End. The dependable Ralph Fiennes rounds out the cast as Farrell's boss. With three talented actors and an Academy Award-winning director at the helm, "In Bruges" could be one of the better crime films of the last few years.
