Those who know McDonagh's work know a vein of darkness will run deeply through the comedy. It has seldom been darker. Or funnier.

In Bruges is a wildly imperfect feature debut, but it does make you curious to see what else McDonagh has to offer.

It plays really engagingly, with the leads doing a wonderful Mutt and Jeff act and the camera lingering lovingly over scenery that looks awfully pretty in the moments before it gets spattered with blood.

For all his movie's tough talk, it's a sometimes slipshod construction.
