This month the boys are talking Martin McDonagh so it's only appropriate that we kick things off with In Bruges. When a contract kill goes awry, two Irish hitmen hide out in Bruges to await instruction from the man who hired them. On paper it sounds like an action movie, but it's really more of a sojourn into the darker recesses of the human material.
